my current rig :-

intel e7500 2.93ghz
4gb ddr2 ram
intel dg41rq motherboard
zotac geforce 210 1gb ddr3 (going to replace it with zotac gtx650 1gb ddr5)
supercomp sep 500 (generic 450watts psu with atx12v-2.03)

as i've told it before that i'm going to replace my geforce 210 with a gtx 650 1gb gddr5 .so i need a new power supply unit for my pc ..not going to upgrade this system anymore so don't need a lot of headroom ...so please suggest me a cheapest power supply unit for my rig .here's the site from which i'm getting my psu-www.flipkart.com

so i also don't want any compatiblity issues of psu with my motherboard as my current psu is atx12v=2.03 so
suggest that psu which is actually compatible with my motherboard ..i'm completely a noob about power supply unit compatiblity with motherboard .so completely dependent on the answers you post .
 
And i am pretty sure that the GTX 650Ti will be badly bottlenecked by ur dual core processor... Not recommended... Instead keep ur current PSu and just get a ATI Raedon HD 7750.. it will give almost the same performance and it dosent require additional power adapter...
 
its not 650ti its gtx650 and i also considered buying hd 7750 but i've an pci-e 1.1*16 (intel dg41rq) motherboard which have compatiblity problems with 7700 series graphics cards ...so gtx 650 would be my best bet
 


In that case anything u will buy will get bottlenecked .. believe me i have experienced it so their is no gd in spending all this money ! Either get a new PC or Upgrade ur current one...
