520W PSU is more than plenty for a GTX460 ;)

Change in plans, ordered GTX 560 instead. only a few more bucks than the 460

Wattage is not so important, look at the Ampage on the +12V for the Power supply, should be on a sticker on the side.

As long as that exceeds what your card requires, you should have no problem.
