I'm planning to get a zotac 750 ti, but was wondering if it will run without hiccups on my corsair vs450 uk variant (i know it's crappy, but it's the only one i've got) without it murdering the gpu
specs - i3 2120 @ 3.3Ghz
4 gb transcend ddr3(1333)
WD blue 500Gb
2 fans (1 is a cabinet, 1 is amd stock cpu fan attached to cabinet)


I thought of 750 ti cause it's got lower consumption than the others in the same category.
i still have not bought it yet, so the question is, should I? I won't be upgrading/adding anything for a few years atleast, psu included.

I don't want to kill my parts, if the psu can't handle the gpu, then i won't get it,i'll wait and live off intel HD graphics.
keep in mind i do game, but not that seriously, but if i do game, then i game with as high settings as possible.
and what are my chances with an r7 260x ocd?
i dunno if this helps, but ambient temp is 24 degrees(ac room)
So, 750 ti waste of money for my psu?
your opinions are appreciated
p.s- im sorry if this is getting a bit repetitive, wanted to be sure cause i saved up for this.

The vs450 is more than enough for a 750 ti it will be fine. I would rather have a 750 ti, the 260x doesn't perform much better if at all. I would look at a r9 270 or the 750 ti. You could power a 270 but it would probably push your power supply to its limit and it could shorten the life of the power supply.

Yes you are right i hate those psu recommendations they are very misleading and make everyone think they wont have enough power. With a 270 his system would draw about 400watts probably less under load.
