Hey…i have almost finished purchasing my new computer

contains:

Gigabyte P35-DS3 Pro
Core 2 duo 2.2 cpu
2g of ddr2 1066mhz ram
Nvidia- 8600 gts

I need to know wat power supply i would need to run so the its not slowing it down in any way, also i would like to know if you think the CPU is good enough for the graphics card and weather it would bottle neck it at all.

But the main thing i wanna know is the power supply and how big i need to get, i do have a spare 450W…but i am not sure if its enough.

Thanks

this is the wrong forum for this kind of questions, but any power supply with 400W and up should be fine for you.
