Honestly, you should be okay with the VS450. The card itself only draws 120W, and it is unlikely the rest of your system will draw more than 330W anyway (unless you have an FX 9590), so you should be fine. Just don't expect a massive overclocking potential from this system or any form of multi-GPU.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.
