I am looking to buy GTX460 but I am not sure do I need better PSU and are there any heat issues with 460 ( do I need to add more powerful fan, currently I have 2 average fan installed on my case). And how good is it for watching BlueRay movies on Plasma TV?

PSU- Ultra LSP 650 watt
CPU- i5 Quad 2.67GHZ
RAM- 4GB

Thanx in advance.

You're good to go, you have plenty of power, and you very likely won't need an extra fan, however, I always recommend installing one, if you can. If your case doesn't have an area for another fan, it will be fine, the GTX460 runs warm, but reasonable.

It will work very good for HD video, better than any standalone Blu-Ray player.

Thanks to a few good fellas here, I own one of these. I did buy a more powerful 120 mm intake fan just in case it did run warm. I also manually up the fan speed to a constant 65% and it stays relatively cool (around 60C on full load, 42C idle). Definitely go for the 1GB version you won't be disappointed.
