Your Geforce GTX 465 graphics card requires:
550W PCI Express®-compliant system power supply with a combined 12V current rating of 46A or more You need a better PSU. Here's a few to choose from: Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more! Be careful with the Seaconic its a quality unit, but its power conncetor is only 24 pin. It will depend on your MB if you can use it. Last note, I've already deleted my newegg promo's so I don't know what's on sale. Here's a couple of bare minimums: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...71%2D016%2DS01
