If you mean the VX450, that will be fine. Though it only has one 6-pin PCI-E connector, so I presume you're using a dual molex-PCI-E adapter to run the card in your PC.

VS450 is CWT GPA, worse than DSAII used for Corsair CX series (other than CX400, which is Seasonic) but still kind of okay. i3-2120 hardly uses any power, so the power supply should be able to handle whatever you can get out of a GTX 560 Ti.

Hmm, it'll probably be alright still. That's not a very power-hungry system.

You'll be fine. With the same PSU my buddy ran a 130W TDP CPU and a 4870, he's been gaming on it for 6 months and it's been just fine, your setup will use considerably less power.
