Thanks for your Help !

and how much do you think this setup uses?
 
not having looked at the place you got the info from im having trouble working it out, how many GTS 450's have you got?

if you've got 1 then go for something like this:

if its two then i'd go for the 550W version of the ones stulid has recommended

Nvidia say the card on its own takes 106W: http://uk.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gts-450/specifications

*edit*
judging by the motherboard i'd say you only have the one graphics card, so the corsair 430W will be more than enough
