Will DELL Inspiron 660MT desktop fit with ASUS GTX660-DC2O-2GD5?

quancan1995 · Apr 8, 2013

I'm planning to buy an average gaming desktop which can play most of the medium-graphic game like Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, AC3, Skyrim, Far Cry 3, DOTA 2... I'm looking at 40-50-60 fps at most medium-high settings. I'm also planing to play at 1600x900 screen resolution. My budget is about between $700-800 excluding the monitor, mouse, etc... I prefer DELL desktops because those things are extremely durable! I found this refurbished DELL: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883155652 , and this video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121660. Please give me some advises, I'm gonna get one for this summer since I just got out of Highschool!

The card appears to be too long to fit. And you would also need to upgrade the psu.

quancan1995 · Apr 8, 2013

Any other suggestion for another graphic card?

PSU upgrade must be done anyway, let me look for my old case and see size limitations, the latest, tomorrow morning Pacific time all you need to know.

Thanks y'all so much! Please let me know when you figure out thr size of this Inspiron! And I really don't know much about PSU, even though if I have the right one I can hook it up by myself! So if you have any more suggestion about PSU, I will be appreciated

Quick PSU reply, 660MT has 300 watt strong PSU, any serious video card upgrade need at least 500 watt or more. Almost any standard ATX PSU will fit. What is your preferred retailer online?

quancan1995 · Apr 8, 2013

I prefer Amazon, Newegg and Bestbuy. If I can buy directly from DELL with the same price, I will do that instead!

It is seems that Asus will fit, very tight and close to HDD cage, but will. I checked mine Inspiron 570, it has different HDD cage, it would fit for me, going UNDER HDD, your case a bit different, but I would say this way. If you just waiting to find exact measurements, it is difficult unless someone with this Inspiron can actually measure space inside.
What I suggest is to look at other options like MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699 which is almost an inch shorter and will fit for sure.
So if you like Inspiron 660 - buy it and measure it, if Asus would not fit, MSI will. I have this card now, Battlefield 3 on Ultra at around 60 FPS with ease, changed to HIGH just to see and got 90 FPS without real quality change!

I tried to put ASUS GTX660 in Inspiron 660MT. It barely fit, but it works. Could you recommend a PSU for this ASUS GTX660? I can have an extra PSU just for GTX660. Thanks.

popyard88 :

Geforce GTX 660 - 24A and a 450W PSU minimum. First take a look at this review, check first page for general names, if bored look through the pages as well.
My first recommendation would be MODULAR PSU, so you can have good cable management. I can not physically cover them all, so I like personally Corsair, in this case if you can afford CORSAIR CX600M, if not then CORSAIR CX500M. Or choose from the list I provided.

Thanks a lot, Kisianik.

I did some research on newegg. Here are some PSUs.

1) CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005

It's ESP12V, $80.

2) CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020

It's ESP12V v2.92

3) RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028

It's ESP12V, $50.

Can they fit in Dell Inspiron 660 and work for GTX660?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182131 This psu is a bit less at $56 with the current promo, not to mention you won't have to deal with a rebate.

Because of the small case with no cable management and you don't need 650w I wouldn't go with those psus. And I would never suggest a raidmax, their quality is pretty low.

popyard88 :

Any Corsair is recommended, Raidmax is not, agree with k1114, no objections here at all.

This is from review I asked you to read

Tier 5 - Other than the units listed above for any of these brands, NOT RECOMMENDED. Replace ASAP if you have one.

# NMEDIAPC
# Norwood Micro/ CompUSA
# NorthQ
# NZXT
# Okia
# Powmax
# Q-Tec
# Raidmax
# Rocketfish
# Rosewill
# SFC

It was not good before, and still not good now!

Thanks Kisianik and K1114, I made the order. Waiting for arrival
