Will My PSU support Gtx960..??

[Vz97]

I have Ordered my Nvidia GTX960 DDR3 2GD5...But just now I have read about the tiers in PSU quality...I have a doubt whether my PSU will Handle my New GPU.?

PSU:Corsair VS450W
CPU:FX-6300

PS:If it supports now too..will it create any defects in the future..?

It should work just fine. Gtx 960 will work since it only wastes 130w under full load.

Your system under full load would consume 350 watts max but if you intend to overclock you should get a 550w psu. I recommend this one http://www.corsair.com/en/vs-seriestm-vs550-550-watt-power-supply

I agree with ak47jar3d. Corsair is a good brand and 450 watts should be fine although I would consider it a bare minimum if you plan on taxing the video card on high end games. I have an EVGA GTX 960 and love how it runs silent in most games. The fan doesn't even spin up until it hits 60 degrees C and even then it is very quiet and doesn't use much power. I have never gotten the card over 70 degrees C. The GTX 480 it replaced was slower, would regularly hit 95 degrees C and would never run on a 450 watt power supply. If you plan on upgrading in the future or adding a second card I would recommend 750 to 850 watts as that will give you a lot of headroom for most configurations but for right now a good Corsair 450 watt power supply should be enough.
