Hey all,

I just got a new video card and was wondering if I should also upgrade my power supply. These are my current specs with the old card.
---Antec-450W powersupply,
---2 X 1GB 333 Crucial Memory, 2 X 512GB 333.
---160 Western Digital IDEEE connection, 1 80 GB Western Digital IDEEE conection
---ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard
--- AMD Athlon 64 3200+
---1 X generic DVD player
---1 X LiteON 16X dvd burner
---1 X Floppy
---1 X VeiwSonic VP171b monitor
---1 X (eVGA 6800 GT 256 PCIE video card) (the old one)

The new video card will be a eVGA 7950GT KO 512MB PCIE card. And I was curious if any might be able to tell me if I should upgrade my power supply before I install the new card or if 450 should be enough power. Thanks.

If you don't want to overclock, it is ok!
