I want to get this card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814500058

i have a diablotek 450w psu with a 12v rail of 24a, will that be enough to meet it's requirements? I couldn't find them on the companies site or anything in the reviews.

Yes, you're fine. The max your PSU can handle is a 9800GTX/GTX+/GTS250 or a 4770 or 4850

I recommended those cards instead of a 9800GT, since they are much better and are only $10 more

Okay, thanks for the answer and the suggestions!

And of those two, I'd suggest the 4770 since it uses even less power (and thus will give you an even bigger buffer) for only a small loss in performance.

I'd suggest the 4770 as well...especially since it may b able to OC to 1ghz but I think u have to change something in its bios...maybe just wait a week or 2 for factory overclocked 4770

vote : 4770 for a low power build.
