I am going to buy a new computer and i selected rc335 cooler master casing.. Here ara power supply details it has..

Thermal Master 420W Power Supply
+12V: 16A/ +5V: 30A/ +3.3V:
30A/ -5V: .5A/ -12V: .5A/ +5Vsb: 2A
1 x Main connector (20+4Pin)
1 x 12V(P4)
4 x Peripheral
2 x SATA
1 x Floppy

Here are the GPUs in my mind to buy.. One of these..

GTS450 / HD6670 /GTX550ti / GTX460 ( i am not sure what would i buy because of budget )

1. Can i run GTS450/HD6670/GTX550ti/GTX460 with the psu i mentioned above?

2. If i cant what kind of psu should i buy?

3 does my psu have a 6 pin PCI Express connector?
 
Solution
if you have a cpu with a tdp of about 100w then hd6670 is also at risk with that psu

1.your 420w psu is not enough, you can only run a 6670 of those with some risk

2. You will nee 1 psu with 500-600w good quality 80+ with 30-35 amps or more at 12v rail (combined)for gtx550ti

3. Since your cpu is not enough (provides only 200w at 12v rail) so you can run 6670 at risk, so their seems not need for an adapter

of those
2nd one (500w) with a combined amperage of 32a (min 30A) is nice, it can run upto a combination of cpu+gpu upto 350w (i.e, if cpu is of 100w, then you can add a card of upto 250w, but no overclocking), and it seems that 550ti i just in the limit i.e, 250w

do you want to overclock, and which cpu you have ?
