If i upgrade my 8400SE to GTS 450 will it have huge differece in performance?

You should see a huge difference in performance in going to a GTS450.But that's a really horrible power supply.I would suggest spending an additonal $40 for a new power supply that you can rely on.

Though it is a terrible PSU, it should still power your system and a GTS 450 fine, although it is cannot supply 600W on the +12V (Or close, 30x12 = 360W) It should still be more than enough for a GTS 450, though I'd get a HD 5770 as it has better performance and uses less power.

So you mean that my PSU is ok to power the GTS 450?

Basicly your Power Supply is actually only a 360 watt.But it is still enough to power your PC with the GTS450.Although I still reccomend upgrading it ASAP.

Yea after a month i will upgrade my PSU because im on tight budget my 1st priority is to buy GTS 450 because when i play games like Prototoype setting ALL LOW it still laggs with 8400SE so i think after i upgrade it to GTS 450 i can play HIGH SETTINGS with no lagg

That will probably be so.The GTS450 is a huge improvement over your current card.

Asssasin creed



Gonna buy GTS 450 soon thanks for the answers it helps me a lot after that i will upgrade my PSU to corsaircx500 after a month

My PSU dont have PCIe 6pin molex connecter im gonna buy POWER CABLE Y SPLITTER

Another reason that you should upgrade your power supply asap.A 600watt PSU that doesn't come with any 6-pin connectors is just asking for trouble.

The card should come with a molex 4 pin to 6pin adapter but it would also be wise to buy one ahead of time since they are realtively cheap

Im gonna buy gts 450 and power cable Y splitter and after a month my next upgrade is my PSU

thanks purple!

Welcome.

Remember you should look for a molex adapter.4pin to 6pin.

 

[dagasaitim]

Yea i know because my current generic PSU dont have pcie 6 pin molex adapter. And I have only 1 4pin cable left it requires 2* pin molex

 

[dagasaitim]
