I have a system with an ASUS H81-M PLUS motherboard, and a corsair VS450 PSU, and am looking to get a GTX 960.

I have read online that nVidia recommend a 450W PSU for the reference card, but I wasn't sure whether this would be enough for an overclocked version of the card, such as Palit's Jetstream series. Also, would the motherboard support this card?

I'm not sure if this is relevant but here are the other components just in case:

i5- 4460
8GB Kingston HyperX memory
500GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD
1TB WD Caviar Blue HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium

Thanks

it will be enough to run the card. you won't be oc'ing the cpu and such so it will be enough. 960 only uses 120w and maybe 140w oc'ed

you're good to go. that psu is an average one which is fine for your use but i would suggest a better one on the next upgrade. for now, though no worries :D
