So I can get the ASUS GTX460 1GB "TOP" (OC'ed) for $175 brand new, wondering if its worth the upgrade for me... I currently have an 8800GT 512MB, old yes, but still chugs along. My PSU is an Enermax 460W 80+, will that be enough juice to power the GTX460? The rest of my system is an E8400 with 2GB DDR2, random HDDs and I am hooking up a 22" Acer and my 32" LCD to the card. So I figure HDMI will be a plus for hooking up the TV (currently I have DVI-->VGA). Is this a good deal for this card?

Is that your PSU?

If yes then yes you can run GTX460 with that PSU, GTX460 is MUCH faster than your 8800GT. Yes, that's a good deal for that card, go for it ($175 is a great price).

I see the 768M version for $175 on Newegg, not the 1G.

I just got the Gigabyte GTX 460 OC 1G, and I love it.

Amazon had the card for $175, but they have since sent out price mistake e-mails so it looks like I won't be getting a card yet...

And yeah that is my PSU, got it when I built my system a couple of years ago.
