Default X850 or X1650

I need one final clarification before I buy. In some places, the
X1650XT is said to require a 450w power supply, others say 350w. Which
is it?
I have a 350w psu, and as I said, I can't afford to replace it too. Do
I maybe need to go down to a Pro instead of the XT?

Power requirements are determined from the total system usage. So they can
only guess. If you don't have a quality supply it may not put out it's rated
capacity. The calculator below may be helpful.
