Hello,

I've decided to upgrade my outdated PC which has a 450W PSU.
I've ran this through multiple wattage calculators. Most results came up positive, but I just want to make sure.
So, my question is, will 450 Watts be enough to handle the following setup?

CPU: Intel Core i5 2320 (4 cores @ 3GHz)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 650 Ti (1GB) // The GTX 650 non-ti is also an option, but I'd prefer this.
RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
MB: Asus P8H61-M LX3 PLUS (PCIe 2.0 16x)


Also, if you notice any sort of dumb mistake regarding the CPU/GPU choice, or if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

450W psu is enough for this system but it should supply continuous power of 450W and made by quality brand like Seasonic,Corsair,XFX or Antec.

It's an FSP brand, not sure which type it is, all I know about it is it's 450W. It's also quite new, since I got it as a warranty replacement 1 month ago (in place of a 350W one).

Check the label on your PSU and look it up in this list: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-su...

The FSP PSUs are in several Tiers, some good others not so good. Without further details, It's hard to know which model you have, and how good, or how bad, it is.

A FSP BRANDED 450w should be able to handle those low power specs.
