Help!

I have a 500w power supply, and I'm planning to get a NVIDIA GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB which requires 450w. Will I have enough wattage in my power supply since other things are using wattage.

If it actually took 450w out of your PSU then no you wouldn't have space. but it only takes like ~150w-200w.

Depends what else you have running off the PSU.

I have
My current Graphics Card
GIGABYTE GV-N430OC-1GL GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

3 of these fans and 2 other fans that came with the computer
Rosewill RFA-120-K 120mm Case cooler

Heatsink
ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev. 2 CPU Cooler - Intel & AMD, Twin-Tower Heatsink, 120mm PWM Fan

I believe your PSU consumption for your CPU is ~100W.
So yeah, you'd need to upgrade your PSU.

Use this to calculate.

It's not very accurate but at least it overestimates your requirements rather than underestimate. Looks like you need around 550-600W based off that, but I'm sure you can survive off 500W for now.
