Limit of vx450W ?

[mailmemanju]

Hi guys ,
I need ur help in choosing a good graphic card. I am getting the gpu from U.S, budget $250(extended to $300 IF necessary). I'll be gaming for hours. My PSU is vx450W. I'm not going to change my PSU so suggest me a GPU that my PSU can handle. I needed a future proof gpu...

My rig,
CPU : q8400(stock)
mobo : DG43GT
Ram : 6GB ddr2-800mhz
psu : vx450
apu : XONAR DX
gpu : 9800gt

So far i've been gaming at 1440*900, now bought a 23" full HD monitor so i hope 9800gt cant handle Full HD.... Thanks in advance..

The GTX 560 TI would be fine with that corsair power supply. They recommend 500 watt power supply on Nvidia but that is just to compensate for all the power supplies that can't produce the power they say. You will have to use one PCI-E adapter which will use two molex connectors, but the card will usually come with these adapters.

Edit

EVGA 560 TI

I have this exact same card and I was able to overclock it to 925 1850 2075 on stock voltage and with a little extra voltage I was able to get 975MHz core clock I could go further, but I will wait til I get my liquid setup going.

Yep! the VX450 is easily one of the best psu's ever made in that power range.
It can deliver another 100W easily.
