Quick Question About a Possible Graphics Card Upgrade

[Cheekun]

I'm currently running a decently old rig that i'm going to be upgrading after Christmas. However i was recently offered a invidia geforece gtx 460 for 30 dollars from a friend who upgraded to a more powerful card.

My current specs:

AMD Athlon II x 4 630 Processor

4G of Ram

HD Radeon 5670 Graphics card.

My after christmas upgrades include a much more powerful processor (a i7 have to get back to the guy for more specifics) his mobo and 16 gbs of ram for around 450 ~

Anyway just wondering if i should snag the card for the meantime.

That ain't too bad(kinda freaky though, I just bought one for $18 off ebay not half a hour ago) and it should run games a bit better than the 5670, though it is also a huge power hog(uses at least twice as much power) compared to the 5670.

Well im using a 500 watt psu in my current computer, It almost seems like it wouldn't be worth it if i had to bump up my PSU to accommodate only a minor/moderate improvement. For 30 dollars, i'd definitely snag it if it fit perfectly into my current build, but because I'm probably doing a complete overall after Christmas the point is moot if i have to dole out additional money for a new PSU.
