Need help on my Power Supply Unit!

Hello people I have a PC with the following specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.20 Ghz
2x 1 GB DDR2 Transcend RAM @ 800Mhz
Intel DG965RY Motherboard
One SATA 80GB Hard disk
One IDE 20GB Hard disk
Zebronics 450W PSU in the cabinet
Samsung Syncmaster 740NW Widescreen LCD Monitor
Now Im gonna get a Zebronics 8800GT Graphic card soon.My query is whether my current PSU is good enough to support all of these without any problems.Please help me out guys.Thanks in advance.

8800gt once you add this..it would be stretching the zebronics 450w i think..you need at least 600W to be on the safer side...and that also from good brand...

If this doesn't give any trouble to my current PSU it will be good.
Can you tell me of a good brand of PSU which won't break my budget?

What is your budget.
Get cooler master Extreme Power 600W psu for around Rs. 3100, 500W for 2600,

Ahh thanks a lot! Oops ya I forgot to mention: anything 2k to 3k would be good. Maybe I can get the Cooler Master Extreme.
One last query:Would my current PSU be OK with this or MAYBE to the breaking point like realdan said?

if ur current PSU is a normal one (i think u wanted to say that it came with the cabinet didn't ya?) then it won't have 6 pin PCI-E power connector which is required for a card like 8800GT...go for the cooler master without a question

Thanks a lot guys! I got the Cooler Master Extreme 600w PSU and its great! Mods may close this thread if they wish.
