Well if u try to run the gtx 960 on that psu then the worst that could happen is
The whole system gets wrecked and you are left with a dead system.
But on the plus side " It's always nice to start afresh." Isn't it

OMG if my system die then me too :[
i already get gtx 960 from interent
and i will get it in 6 days
i used my all money to get gtx 960.
and even i don't know gtx 960 will work on my mobo or not.
i have to sell my gt 730 so i can get new mobo if gtx 960 didn't work on my mobo
and i don't have any money to get 650W PSu :[

but i have two psu both are 450w

so can i used another one psu to only external 6 pin connector
to graphic card ?
 
as I posted before, the wattage is not the problem, the crappy PSU is the problem. You could easily use a 400W PSU, if it would be at least 80+ bronze certified and had a 6PIN PCIe connector and safety features onboard.

Which two 450W PSUs do you have exactly?

Why worry about the mobo, the possibility that the gtx960 won´t run on it, is very unlikely, because the 730 is running well.

both psu are zebronic 450w

mobo ecs h61h2_m10
pcie x16 -2.0
bios - 6/27/2013
SMbios - 2.7

do you think my mobo can run gtx 960 ?
if my mobo can run gtx 960 so i can get new psu :D
 
well, then both are waste

!please don´t just add the other PSU by shorten it to run the PCIe power, especially not with such crappy PSUs!

to connect two PSUs in one PC you wil need something like this:

mobo:
try it, for now, no known compatibility issues

Code:
I think you should stay away from vip's and at the least get a VS. SERIES Psu
Here check this link about the VIP smps platinum.  You will get the idea [url=http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/328015-28-gold-edition]http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/328015-28-gold-edition[/url]

Got a i3 3220 with 400 w psu and gtx 960 works superb 50-70 fps on shadow of mordor all on maximum.. You probably just bought a new psu even tough you probably didn't need to - gtx 960 evga ssc+ 1430 MHz
 
@erik svensson


the point was not the wattage but the crappy psu model he had. Sure it could run the system, but could damage the system too over time or in the moment it would power on the first time.

Which PSU do you have exactly? Maybe you should consider a better PSU too, if you are not aware of such things like burning power supplies.

Yeah, Mr. Svensson maybe you should look up the internet for burning power supplies.
Maybe we good for nothing people save your cpu .
