Hey fellow tech geeks and enthusiasts, I was wondering about upgrading my graphics card from my current Geforce GTX 650 ti to something around a 680 and I was wondering if it would be possible with an overclocked system.
I bought a system off of iBuypower with overclocking of 20% just so you know.

Yes you definitely can upgrade no problems, as long as you have the necessary space in your case, and your psu is decent. Do you know what your motherboard model is? What are your system specs, including power supply?

Ok yes, you are good to go. Your power supply is bronze rated, and high quality as well, although the wattage isn't necessarily great you should be fine with a single 680. I checked the voltage/wattage use of your system with a 680 and you fall under 500w used.
