I wouldn't trust a Thermaltake 430 W PSU to run a GTS 250.

what about the amperage on 12V rail(s)?
could you give us more detail?

I would not attempt it. Thermaltake PSUs are pretty crappy, unless you are talking about their more powerful PSUs which are generally considered average to above average.

Then get new PSU just like everyone state above...

Which psu(minimum watt) need for run this card and which company will be better.

 

[wa1]

Corsair 500W is a good quality PSU, if you can afford it then go for it, it should run a single GTS250 just fine...

a 400w+ from antec, ocz, silverstone, xigmatek, enermax, corsair, or seasonic will do the job. do you live in the USA and have a budget?

I live in bangladesh .And i am so confused that this companies have or have not in bangladesh .But i will find .You have written 400W+, that means 450w or 500w or 400w is the perfect.I have low budget,so i ask this question . Thanks for your suggestion .
