I want to put a gigabyte GTX 650 2GB in my computer but I don't know how many watt my power supply has but my specs are

Intel core i7 920
4gb of ram
Gainward GTS 250
EX58-UD3R motherboard

If my power supply can currently support those components can it support a GTX 650 2gb?
 
Solution
It will, as you can see in the link I'll post below.
You do need to check if you have a six pin connector from your PSU just in case

GTS 250 uses 145 Watt, the 650 uses 64 Watt only..
I would Not suggest getting the 650 by the way, if it matters.

you can already put GTS250 on your rig so Im guessing around 450 to 500 watt. it should be enough, but why an old card? maybe a gtx750Ti? much better card and lower power consumption (select models only required pcie power input, 75watt).
