Is a 450w Power Supply too weak for 1050 4gb card?

    Hey,

    still mucking around with a cheap build here - just short of a GPU and have the machine working well otherwise.

    Anyway, here's the spec


    Ram 2 4gb Dimms - HyperX HX424C15FBK2/8 FURY 8 GB DDR4 2400 MHz Memory Kit (2 x 4 GB) (Skylake Ready), Black
    Storage - Seagate Barracuda 7200 Desktop 1 TB Hard Drive
    CPU - Intel BX80662I36100 Core i3 6100 Skylake Dual-Core 3.7 GHz Processor
    Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H Ultra Durable Motherboard

    and a cheapo ATX case

    it's run me around 350 quid so far but i'm a bit concerned that the power supply which is a Corsair ATX 450W, may not be strong enough to keep the machine on if a powerful GPU is in there, it's grand now and quiet as a mouse and all, but yeah.. what do ye reckon?
    If a 4gb is out of the question, would a 2gb card do?
