• It appears that the drain is 120W. I just built my first computer ever as well! Used this graphics card. I only have a 550W Power Supply and it's plenty. My computer is only at like 270W total power drain. This GPU is very friendly on the power usage. Good luck!

• This card requires 450W. I installed the corsair CX650M. If you need to upgrade your power supply, make sure that it will be compatible with your motherboard.

  I would recommend:

  • 
    CORSAIR - CX-M Series 650W ATX12V 2.4/EPS12V 2.92 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply - Matte Black

• The specifications on the product page say that the recommended power supply for the 1660 Ti is 450 watts. Depending on the other parts going in your PC, I'd go higher than that. General rule is you figure out how much power the PC is going to consume, then you multiply that number by 1.5. PCPartPicker.com is really good for finding out total wattage for your system once you have all your parts picked out. I personally have a 600-650 watt power supply and that's probably 100 to 200 watts more than I need.
