hi guys
new here so hope I'm posting in the right place

I'm interested in the gtx 670 graphics card but only have a 450w psu, and am unsure if that is enough, especially when it comes to the rails/ amps

here is a screenshot of the psu:

Any thoughts? If this wont be sufficient, what graphics card would you recommend that is as close as possible in grunt, but easier on the power?

thanks
Dave

It will probably work, but I wouldn't do it. I've got the Corsair 450VX with the system in my sig, but it's one of the highest quality 450W PSU's. Cheaper 450W PSUs tend to be more like 200 - 350W in practice.

FSP makes some pretty solid power supplies. I'm not sure the age of the power supply?, but I wouldn't have an issue running a GTX 670 off of it. What does the rest of your PC look like?
