Power supply question

[beaver]

COOLERMASTER ELITE 430 BLACK CASE
Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-3570 (3.4GHz) 6MB Cache
ASUS® P8H77-M: M-ATX, DDR3, USB 3.0, SATA 6.0Gb/s, CrossFireX
4GB SAMSUNG DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (1 X 4GB)
2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 660 - DVI, HDMI, VGA - 3D Vision Ready
450W Quiet 80 PLUS Dual Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan

Those are the specs for what I've built on here. I'll be adding my old 500GB HDD, an Audigy LE sound card and a DVD-RW drive to this once it's received. Will I need a better power supply?

The minimum required for the GTX 660 is 450W PSU. I would seriously look at either going for the 600W Quiet 80 PSU or Possibly the Corsair 650W TX650 V2-80. Having your PSU 450W running close to max all the time will shorten its lifespan and possibly burn it out. Alot of people forget that, so having the extra power will mean it isn't running at full power and also reduce the amount of heat produced

exactly what teril said!

also if you care about the "Looks" of your system then go for the corsair, as it comes in a black shell with black cable sheaths on. But if you aint bothered the 600w psu would be fine.
