I'm currently looking into upgrading my graphics card, what I am running now is a PNY Nvidia GeForce GT 240 (512MB). I would like to keep my budget to around $100, but I have been looking at a GeForce 550 Ti. This EVGA 550 Ti specifically: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130625
Here's the specs on my system:
Motherboard: ASUS P67 Sabertooth
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k 3.30GHz
RAM: 8Gb VisionTek DDR3 1600MHz (2x4Gb)
PSU: Ultra 450W LSP
Now, everywhere I looks says the recommended PSU wattage is 400W for the 550 Ti. Since I don't intend on overclocking, should I be able to run that card? I know its a bit of a squeeze, but I'd like to hold off buying a new PSU until I'm ready to do an SLI configuration (which may not be that far down the road).
