Gts 450 work with my power supply?

[seifer8ff]

Hi, I want to buy a gts 450 card so that I can play Final Fantasy XIV, but I have a pretty weak power supply...Do I need to upgrade? If so, which power supply looks like the best value for the money? on a tight budget by the way
Thank you!

Completely agree with ct1615 on this one. Power Supplies are the LAST place you skimp in your PC. EVERYTHING relies on the power provided by your Power Supply. A crappy PSU can toast your entire computer when it fails.

Honestly Id get a HD5770 instead, for $5 less it offers equal performance for 20W less power used: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161338&cm_re=HD_5770-_-14-161-338-_-Product

Heres a combo with a nice PSU also: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.506261
