Hey Guys,

I am moving a computer from one case to another. I have a few questions.

I am getting a GTX 660 OC to go with a i3 3220, What PSU do I need because I know the GTX 660 has certain PSU feature requirments, can someone link a example

Also, can I move my Ram from my old Mini ITX Mobo to my new Micro Atx Mobo.

Also How do you format a hardrive for a fresh boot of windows

Cheers
Luke

All of the partitions will be listed including any hidden and system reserved ones.
For a system using a single GeForce GTX 660 (non-Ti) graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 450 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 24 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

You can make a bootable USB flash drive containing the Windows installer to use instead of booting from a CD/DVD.

You can delete the existing partition(s) on the hard disk drive and create new ones during the install.
