Hi.
This is my first time on the forums! and i'd like to ask a hopefully simple question. i'm looking to upgrade my 9800GT.
it runs on a 450W PSU and according to the Nvidia website it needs a minumum 400w PSU. (i have a 450W, NOT SURE WHAT MAKE)

my choice for an upgrade is a GTX 460 (PLEASE. do not suggest any other makes.. Thank you!) and it says you need a minimum of 450w coming from your PSU. will my CURRENT 450W psu be enough for it?

I'm also looking to upgrade my PSU as well. I have found this one for my upgrade, as it will keep me going for the future to come!

Will my Current PSU handle it.. i am going to buy that PSU in the very near future to go with my GTX 460.
heres two cards i have found to my likeing!

I think u should take the MSI GTX460. And your current PSU won't handle your GPU.
About the PSU. Well u should get a better known company PSU like Corsair, Gigabyte or something like that.
But thats only my suggestion.

Thas for your answer. and i think so to. i just choose that PSU as it was fairly cheap and it had good reviews... on that site atleast. but i will go for a better known PSU etc.

The Corsair TX is an excellent power supply. Other good quality brands include Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, XFX, Enermax, Silverstone and Antec.
