Yea, thats what I thought
check the psu calc for me pls, it doesnt work on my PC
this PC isnt going to be really put under load anyways. Especially the GPU; its really overkill. Its not worth the extra $100 to go up to the 520HX (550w is not sold here) 450w should be plenty.
In the xcpus $600 gaming roundup they ran an OC'd e5200/kuma, 4870/260 off of a 400w silverstone.

250 w.
I am assuming you are referring to the PSU calc load of the q9400 box
450VX should be fine then no. It is an above average 450w supposedly. I built a PC with one this summer, seemed nice and quiet, then again the system was running a mATX mobo and a 45w 4850e cpu, so not much load.
