I am looking to purchase a gtx 780 in this dark age of gpu prices and was wondering if my 450w evga 80+ bronze psu can handle a gtx 780. My system specs are as follows, don't laugh, this is my first build, and I finally have the money for a gpu, or so I thought.
Pentium g4560
16 gb ram
Msi b250i gaming pro ac
A sandisk 240 gb ssd.

Considering that the B3 model is their better model of those you mentioned, I wouldn't' trust any of them to run a GTX 780 in a full-time gaming system.
Which one of the four EVGA 450W 80 PLUS BRONZE models do you have?

EVGA 450 B [100-B1-0450-K1]
EVGA 450 BT [100-BT-0450-K1]
EVGA 450 BV [100-BV-0450-K1]
EVGA 450 B3 [220-B3-0450-V1]

What is the brand and model of the GeForce GTX 780 card? Some of the models consume more power than others.
