How to run evga gtx 465 with 500w psu

[damanb1]

Hello, can I run EVGA GTX 465 card with cooler master 500 Watt extreme power PSU

So long as you only have one 465 and the PSU has the correct amount of PCI-E power connectors, then yes you are fine.

I would tend to agree with Griffolion, but if you want to be really safe, there's a great PSU Calculator here: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

EDIT: Also, I know this question is regarding a graphics card upgrade, but in the future the PSU category would be a better fit for this question.

Yes you can.
Your psu is far from the best.
It's inefficient and noisy!
But you'll soon find out especially with a 465.
