hello frnds.......my system specs are Mo.Bo intel DZ75ML-45K,i5-3330 processor,RAM 4GB @1600Mhz,PSU Odyssey 450w.i wanna buy this graphic card Zotac NVIDIA 750ti....

http://www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidia-gtx-750ti-2-gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdtth6ymguyapq

one flipkart user opined that "First of all ... You DO NOT need an expensive Rs.2000-3000 PSU for this card to work .. this card is a low power wonder. A generic 450W PSU would be suffice if you do not have powerful processors like i7 !! "

will this compatiblewith PSU or it wont work because processor is a bit powerful(HD 2500 Graphics) as it consumes more power....pls help

It will work, just because something is more powerful than the other does not mean "it won't work", it will work, do not worry :). I suggest getting something a bit higher though, like a 760. Other than that yes you are fine. That psu however sucks, I recommend you change to a new one.

Anything from tier 1 to tier 2b is what i recommend for your system.

And it's good to have a powerful CPU, having powerful parts isn't bad its good! It helps stop bottlenecks and makes sure your system is running at 100%.
