A akym Honorable Aug 26, 2013 8 0 10,510 Aug 26, 2013 #1 I want to buy an Nvidia GTX 660 graphic card but I don't know if it will work on my PC. I have a PCI-E 2.0 And on my power supply says 'Max Wattage 450W and Peak Wattage 500W' Will it work?

Solution X79 Aug 26, 2013 You could get a Radeon 7850 by the way. Tends to be cheaper, while still being on-par with a 660. An MSI Twin Frozr version is always awesome for GPUs in my view. Of the 660s you put forth, I imagine you'd like the Gigabyte one in particular, if you're not going to OC things yourself. But I don't know really. I think they're much the same, those 3, so I doubt you'd feel a difference. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-review,review-32760-3.html

X79 Honorable Apr 17, 2013 3,039 0 13,460 Aug 26, 2013 #2 It would work. But you would probably need to upgrade your PSU. I'd say 550W, but it also depends on what other parts you've got. You don't want your PSU running close to max, even if it could handle it. Upvote 0 Downvote

K kirilmatthew Honorable Jul 24, 2013 1,377 1 11,660 Aug 26, 2013 #3 Yes it will work, but what are your system specs? And what PSU do you have? Upvote 0 Downvote

X79 Honorable Apr 17, 2013 3,039 0 13,460 Aug 26, 2013 #5 I think your CPU is fine then. But getting a new PSU would be a good idea most likely. Upvote 0 Downvote
A akym Honorable Aug 26, 2013 8 0 10,510 Aug 26, 2013 #6 But if i take the 650 ti boost changes something? Upvote 0 Downvote
X79 Honorable Apr 17, 2013 3,039 0 13,460 Aug 26, 2013 #7 The boost is essentially a 660. I'd feel safer with a 550W PSU still. Upvote 0 Downvote
A akym Honorable Aug 26, 2013 8 0 10,510 Aug 26, 2013 #8 Well then I think I'll get a new psu...any advice on what model of Psu should i get? I'd prefer a 600W Upvote 0 Downvote
