Can i upgrade my X51 to the EVGA Nvidia Gtx 960 128-Bit PCI-E Graphics Card?

So im looking to upgrade my graphics card to the GTX 960 but am a little concerned about power supply...... It says you need a 400w minimum power supply & it draws 120w, where as my GT 545 im running now draws 70w i believe...?

So my question is, would me upgrading my PSU to the 330w be enough?

Thanks in advance

Hello, 

The Nvidia GTX 960 is not a validated graphics card upgrade for the Alienware X51 R1. Therefore, we cannot confirm that it will work properly with this system. However, some of our customers have done this upgrade with success. For more information, click here to view a thread from the Alienware Arena forum that discusses this upgrade.
