Hi guys,
Im looking to upgrade my graphics card and after reading about a bit it seemed like i needed atleast a 450W PSU to run the sort of card i wanted properly (GTS250/HD4870).
Now i really didn't do my background research and just went out and bought a 450W from ebay, i was told CWT was an 'okay' make to buy but the thing looks ancient and dosen't even have a PCI-E connector on it where as my older one does.
So basically, i think that my old PSU will run the graphics card okay and the other one i bought i should just chuck. I just want some re-assurance from someone that actually knows what they are talking about
Here are the labels on the side of either PSU:

Any comments would be great, even if they are ones calling me an idiot..
thanks, matt.
