When i was speccing my pc i decided to skip adding a gpu as i had no real use for it, i did however up my PSU so i could accomodate one in the future.
Now im tempted by some of the latest games coming out, and have started to look at the latest GPU offerings.
My problem is that i put in a 450W PSU thinking i should be able to upgrade to a mid range GPU in a year or so in order to do some light gaming.
I have my eye on the gtx 560Ti, which accoring to PCS uses 180W of power. When i re build my system in the configurator it says i should upgrade the PSU as it potentialy could use up to 470W with a 20% margin.
My build notes say my pc as it is now could use 254W so if i add the 180 to that would leave me just about ok.
What do you guys think as i have no experiance in this area at all.
