PC Peripherals PSU for GTS 250

[amrit_iyer]

Hi,
Now i'm not much of a gamer and my brother recently gave me a Galaxy GTS250 512MB DDR3 out of nowhere!!!

So i'll have to buy a new PSU.
Here's my config:
Intel Core2Duo E4500@2.2GHz,
Transcend 2GB DDR2 800MHz,
2 Seagate HDD, 250GB+80GB
2 DVD-RW
Will a Gigabyte 460W PSU be able to handle the system??
Costs ~2.2k
OR
Should i go for the usual:
Cooler Master-Real power 460W OR Corsair CMPSU-450VX
costs ~3.5k

The Gigabyte 460W PSU will be fine
Congrats on the new card and enjoy it, maybe it'll turn you into a gamer

What I'm concerned abt is that Galaxy specifies a min 450W psu with 24A on 12V.
And i've heard that the Gigabyte 460W is actually an FSP 400W(15A + 14A)....

I guess shouldn't be a problem rite??

The GTS 250 is a very very power hungry beast and nothing less than a KS-150 HWGCR nuclear reactor will suffice.

But this will barely get you through, don't plan on SLI or overclocking with this budget nuclear reactor.

Both the PSU's are good choices. Don't go by the ratings.
