Checked nvidia website. Its says minimum system power requirement is 450 W.
A stupid question but considering other equipments that will consume power (monitor, processor,speakers etc.) should i go for more?

I would, though it probably would be ok I would go for a bigger one just in case and to give you extra overhead
