I bought a new graphics card and I forgot I need to up the powersupply.
I had one that came with my case. The graphics card I am upgrading to is a Geforce GTX 660 and it needs one of the 6 pin connectors. I originally have a 420W supply, Geforce GT 620, i5-3350p quad processor. I need one that is kinda cheap, since I need this on hand right away to continue installing this new graphics card.

I could use some recommendations since I am a nooby at computer hardware.
I love to use TigerDirect, if you can find a prefered one in that I would adore you.
Sorry for the language ahead of time, I am trying not to sound too demanding. T-T

As per your config, you will need atleast 650W PSU.
get a good psu like corsair TX650.

Thanks You, I thought 500w or 550w would do it. Why 650W?

Hi, when it comes to PSU's never go cheap, you need to get the best quality PSU regardless of your budget, otherwise you gonna regret it later on, I highly recommend the following PSU:

Thanks, i definetly needed to know that. I would have bought something that might have shorted the computer or even worse. I definetly will use that when I go to get the PSU.

I told you 650W PSU because in future if you are planning to SLI your 660 then it will be helpful at that time.
