gts250 512mb core 550 watt psu

Hello all,

i have a question about power requirements. If i go out and buy a GTS 250 512 mb core...will my 550 watt psu be able to handle that?

System specs *if you need that*
MSI K9A2 CF
250GB 7200 RPM SATA2
80GB 7200 RPM sata2
4gb OCZ SLI Ready RAM
AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ windsor *95nm*
550 WATT PSU

EDIT= I know the card needs a 450 watt bare minimum

 

This is a really handy tool for things like that

Ya, you'll be fine as long as your PSU is a quality brand named one with a 26A rail.
