You could go with way less. But that 650TX will work.

I have no idea what to get, Mine now is 300W It says the recomended is 475W is that for the whole machine? Or just for the card I want. I have no idea which plugs I need, I see them but have no idea what they're called. I just want somthing cheap, but that won't ruin my system (price cheap not quality cheap). If anyone knows a good PSU that will support a Nvidia GTS 250 on an HP a6330f (that's right off the shelves I made no alterations). PLEASE TELL ME! I am BAFFELED!
