Seti pays the same credit for Cpu as Gpu.... the Gpu will shrub about 50 times faster at least.....

I ran mine on a 550W Rosewill. It ran just fine crunching GPU Grid with MW on the CPU.

I used to run two 260's and a 9600 GSO off of a Corsair TX650W with an i7 CPU. You should be able to run a single 260 with a 450W PSU.

Go to your account on the project page, go to the section for SETI@home program options and select the applications you want to run by clicking on the box by the app. SETI will run the apps with a check mark in the box. The same principle applies to other projects with app options like Prime Grid and the Yoyo@home, which is the current project of the month.
