You motherboard can support that card.

But make sure the rest of you hardware can too. Can you please tell us what processor you are using, and The brand name and wattage of your power supply. And model if you can.

The GTX 660 sips power for it's performance. It's a great mid level card just make sure that you have at least a 450W PSU from a reputable and trusted brand (Antec, Corsair, Silverstone, FSP, there are many others) and please stay away from Rosewill (at this level, Capstone series is solid), Cooler Master, Raidmax, whatever came stock if it's a Dell / HP or other store brand PC.

I was also thinking of purchasing this graphics card. Which one do you think is better?
