gtx 650 ti on a 430 watt psu

He won't be able to push the limits but he should be fine giving it a bump in clock speeds.

This PSU is ancient , and bad:

Would you want to run it on your gear? I sure as heck wouldn't.

Its definitely the best and most safe (for your computer) decision. Grab a seasonic, xfx, corsair (cx line is a bit lower end), or antec >500w and you will be good to go with the 7850 or gtx 660.

My friend a few years back bought a Xion Supernova. It lived up to its name, the only thing left standing in his machine was a DVD drive lol...

The CX is much better than it was at first. Still, I am using a first Gen to power a GX2 and E7300. Not too shabby really,

^^Hopefully I will never experience a PSU like that.

To expand without going off topic, I also have no issue with the corsair cx (I put the first 430w version in my parents build, but its only an i3 running integrated). The older 400w were supposed to be very good for the price (seasonic based if I recall correctly). The newest ones (at least as far as I know) are fine and definitely better than the OPs, but not to the same standard as the others I mentioned.

I have to run the tr2 for the moment (with the g870 and a 6670) as I have no other psu and I need the computer at the moment .But in about a week I will buy a seasonic 600 watt for 70$ (anything better for the money,or is this a good buy?)

Very Lucky in that regards BurningAce, but yeah if you can grab the 600W for $70 thats a perfect buy.

Seasonic are top notch, use them in my new main rig and love how stable they are, Use Antec blue for servers and Yes I use THERMALTAKE 750 and 850 TRX and Toughpower Grand as my backups and in my media center never had a issue with either but after the horror stories I upgraded my main to Seasonic and my servers to Antec.

At my old work we sold thousands of TR2 500w's and had very very few RMA's.

Corsair we had lots of RMA's sadly :( but almost 100% of those were doa(that we had to rma that is).

Coolermaster GARBAGE!!!

Antec never had a single RMA

Seasonic Still waiting for my first RMA never had one fail
