its your wish mate. if that PSU smokes out under load, your whole PC will be compromised. go for HD6670 1Gb GDDR5 (don't go for GDDR3 based GPU) from Sapphire or MSI. in case you want to change PSU, go for HD5670 512Mb/1Gb GDDR5 + FSP Saga II 350/400W. total will be 5.5/6k.

If you can't change psu don't bother with a graphic card, change it to something like FSP saga and then get a GPU.

16 * 12 = 192w. 192w on the 12V rail.

I don't know why the hell the manufacture labelled it a "450w" PSU. Cheating right in front of your eyes.

PSUs usually have their ~80-85% of the rating on their 12V rail. In your case, it is 42%. :|

If you can't change your PSU, don't buy a graphic card.
