GFX GTX 450 details are added in the first post its 1024mb DDR5 version consume about 106watt and 8.8a from +12v rails so in terms of power its power consumption is equal with 9800gt

^ 7800gs in agp consume about 75watt
and 6600gt consume less then 60watt
so a bulk psu can handle 6600gt very easily 7800gt consume little more power but a psu with atleast 16a is enough for it

My psu has initials on it

Output:
+3.3V+5V+12V-12V-5V+5Vsb
12A 25A 12A 0.5A 0.5A 1.5A

What it means?

^ 17 is better for draw the total output power you have to multiply the 12 with the number of a on the psu
so if a power supply has 10a on +12v rail (as processor and gpu get there power from +12v rail ) it means this power supply can draw 120watt of power whereas some chines power supplies shows wrong rating or total power so think before buying and getting a better psu is recommended for future too

^ brother your psu have 2 rails for +12v and support a total 336 watt output power but i don't recommend you using gtx460 cyclone with this pc although its enough for the system specs you mentioned , your psu is enough but getting a psu that should have more then 30a is recommended for you

@memoon bro tell me your total budget and your current pc specs

What are his pc Specs, Secondly if you add 2k to that budget then you can easily get a used 9600 gso which is quite better, and provides good yet a cheap solution. And btw you can get a pc with a 9600 gso in abt 25k.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
