Question. My Desktop PC has a TDP of 173 Watts (according to PC Partpicker). I have a 450Watt PSU. I have been looking into buying a GPU. Something like a GTX 970. This has a TDP of 145Watts. This puts my PC at a TDP of approx. 318Watts.
On paper, it appears that I I have enough power. But I have been told that my 450Watt PSU is not enough.
Can anyone explain?
