looking good GPU for gaming

thats what im worried about i blew my old PSU, so i jst got a quick replacement its a vision technology PSU(shops brand) which was only 200R ... so its not a good quality PSU was thinking to buy a psu along with my GFX card so i wont have any issues with a PSU... so i was wondering if u guys could suggest a PSU from wootware so i can jst get both PSU and GPU togather
 
well actualy im running a gfx card that requires a minimum of 450W so it isnt as bad as i expected it to be
 
Your Nvidia GT430 is rated at 60W TDP, so even a decent 250W PSU would suffice if you don't have more than 2 HDD's.

The recommended/minimum power supply specifications given by the manufacturers usually include a MASSIVE safety margin, so that you can run it on a very cheap PSU with that rating.

Like the GTX 460 also has a required minimum power supply size of 450W according to Nvidia, and the card is rated at 160W TDP, so they've clearly boosted your minimum power supply requirements for your card by a great deal!
When I'm overclocking both my GTX 460's and my CPU, then I barely exceed 450W in total.
