Sure the 450 will work for that gpu. But I doubt that gpu will be enough to max Skyrim @ 1080p.
H460AD-00 is the model of my power supply.
Looks like a dell PSU according to here: http://en.community.dell.com/support.../19433272.aspx
I would say it should work since it does have a 6pin PSU connector, and the 550TI not only uses low power, but only requires a single PCI-E 6pin connection.
Yeah its a dell power supply
http://www.ebay.it/itm/ws/eBayISAPI....d=353054616937 is it.
So if I get it it should work fine and have no problems with it?
It should work fine, yep. I was also under the impression that you already had the GPU judging by the name of the thread title and all, so I'd say get a better PSU just to be on the safer side in the future, especially if you're considering upgrading anything else.
I'm not saying that the dell one you linked won't work with the card, but personally, I'd still spend more for a more reputed brand that specialize in power supplies (Corsair, Seasonic, etc). It's up to you though.
Well its a Xps 8500 model from dell and I need a new graphics card for it..........
If you have not bought the 550Ti by now then drop that idea and get an AMD 6850. They cost about the same with the added benefit of much better performance from the 6850. Look out for the single PCI-E powered versions like the MSI Cyclone or some of the XFX ones as you only have one PCI-E connection on your PSU and that way you wont need a molex to PCI-E connector.
So this won't damage my computer or make it crash?
450 watt and MSI Gtx550 ti here, works fine
step into everything will gief ya nothing, mon
A better question is why are you (buying?) a 550ti? Unless its free buy a better card.
70 pounds sterling is between 20 and 30 pounds less than what a brand new one would cost.
If he can find a 6850 for that price, then I'd go for that, but still, "steal or not" the 550 Ti is good for 70. Also, OP, any idea what resolution you'll be gaming on?
