It says a minimum of a 450W power supply and I have a 450W.
Will it not run well since i have the bare minimum?

Depends, what are the amps on the +12v rail.

Well under +12V it says 18A

I think that should be enough, but I don't know if I'm right.

It should be enough. However prior to your ordering that card I will forwarn you of one thing. They have a problem with video memory being bad sometimes. I got a faulty card and am RMA'ing it through eVGA right now. The plus side is, their tech support is second to none. I would recommend a larger PSU though.

my old 18A 12v PSU would crash the computer whenever the Card switched to its 3d power mode. Changing to a power supply with a Dual 12v rail with a total of 34A solved the problem... so in my experience you need at least 24A, as the card suggests.

My Truepower II 480w works well for me if you want to get a new PSU

Btw, how are you guys able to get the memory clock on your 7800gt's so high? Mine starts to screw up over 1150

Pencil memory mod.

is it dangerous? I just got a VF700LED so I think that's pretty good cooling...

Re: Can my PSU handle it?

Yes its risky. Your cooler is just as good as mine... so yeah.
