I've got a corsair 430w psu and I want to boost my graphics a bit. Now I'm using amd 5800k gpu with integrated graphics. Wich gpu's do you guys think will work best , price doesn't matter (I was thinking maybe to buy a 6670 to do dual graphics, good Idea?)

" 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. "

The Corsair CX430 provides 32 amps on its 12v rail and its max wattage output is 430 watts, so a GTX 660 would most probably...

The dual graphics are not a good idea at all. Sometimes it boost performance a little, sometimes not at all, and sometimes it ends up even worse. Even when it works it's still pretty slow.

I would be looking at something like a 7850, or even 7870/R9 270 on the AMD side, or something like a 650ti, 650 ti boost, or even 660 on the NVidia side. You'll be far happier with your gaming performance with a real gaming card.

Here's a GTX 660 2GB
