Thinking of changing my graphics card, will my PSU cut it?

My current setup is in my sig and I'm considering swapping out my GTX 260 for a 1gb GTX 460 but I just wanted to make sure that my current PSU would handle it OK??

Thanks......

the power supply look good to me

there is a website that you can check to see what power supply you will need but for the life of me i cant remember it

not sure if this is a good one but give it a try

600W will be fine.

This website shows that when loaded, the system draws a total of 270W.

Thanks guys.....

That first link says the 460 takes LESS power than the current 260!?!?! :confused:

Yup do you fine. 460's aint bad for power even clocked. Remember the more load on ya PSU you end up paying more with electric bills.
