Hello Everyone! I am currently in the process of upgrading my graphics card from the old AMD HD 7450 to the faster, EVGA GeForce GTX 750 TI Superclocked edition. I'm worried that my pre-built pc's power supply cannot handle the card even though a lot of forums and posts have stated otherwise.

I have a power supply unit rated at 460 Watts. The exact model number is the dps-460db-5a. I know nothing about power supplies so I am unable to determine how much amperage this can supply.

My computer model and specifications are found on HP's website:
HP Pavilion HPE h8-1212: http://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c03364037/
I have verified each and every part, they match exactly what is on my desktop.

The graphics card I am planning on purchasing is the Nvidia 750Ti superclocked edition by EVGA: http://www.evga.com/products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-3753-KR


Thanks!
 
Solution
750 Ti - Can be used with current set-up, CPU cooler is highly highly recommended, for eg. 212x(check for fitment)

mentioned PSU seems fine use 550w for some headroom.

Thank you so much for you answer! I have an additional question: I heard mixed reviews about the Delta brand PSU, so do I have a risk of damaging any components if I install said graphics card into it? I'd like to clarify: I'm afraid the PSU will have it's capacitors explode if I use this card too much, is that still a posibility with the Delta PSU brand? It's not Antec.
