My PSU is 650 W and 5 Amps, I opened up and looked at it. What do you make of that? I'm looking at a GTX 295 by the way.

But like said between the PCIe 1.0/2.0 your card will probable pull the same amount of watts. PCIe 2.0 does supply more wattage through the slot, how much more depends on the manufacture, but PCIe 1.0 is 75W and 2.0 is up to 150W. But the card will get its wattage one way or the other (slot or PCIe power connector)
