Well, your graphics cards are rated at 450 W each, so.....

GeForce 460's do not draw 450W "each"

http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-geforce-gtx-460-us.html

They draw 160W per card MAX, nVIDIA recommends a 450W PSU for the entire system.

So that's 300W from the graphics cards, and a max of 95W from the CPU @ stock - or around 110-130W overclocked. OP - you will be fine with the power supply you have. Put the money towards a nice heatsink :cool:
