The Corsair CX 500w would be enough.

Don't be cheap on the PSU. Ever.

That being said, this is the best quality PSU for the lowest money that could power a GTX 460 1GB easily.

I heard the builder series weren't made by Seasonic and that they're of lower quality.

Hm, really? Odd that they would take such a gamble... But then again, it is their low end :? Oh well. Here's the closest one that I can find to the same price from a reputable manufacturer: Silverstone OP700
