Probably not, it is recommended to have at least a 500W quality PSU in a system using one GTX 670. Depending on the make/model of your PSU it might work, but I wouldn't risk it, especially if you are or will be doing any overclocking.

you have to upgrade your PSU it's recommended supply is 500 watt so get a new PSU

ROFL........I would NEVER seriously consider much less use an Apevia brand anything!!!! I only trust/use/recommend quality PSUs from top tier companies such as Seasonic, XFX, Corsair (EXCEPT their CX series) or Antec.

(EXCEPT their CX series)

I've had a cx500 for over a year now , i don't see anything wrong with them for the price.

While the Corsair CX series are decent, much better than many others out there, I do not recommend them for anything other than low-end builds using mainstream video cards and no overclocking involved. However, once you get into enthusiast level video cards and/or overclocking, I do not trust them. That's me, When I spend >$1000 on a rig, I will not take a chance on a budget PSU taking out the entire thing, I'll spend the extra money for a quality PSU every time.
