I have one Asus M11BB model motherboard. I know that this question has gone around many times around the forums, but just yesterday, I bought a 600w power supply from Best Buy.

The brand is "Thermaltake Coolall Your Life"

I have not opened the box yet, but I just to want to make sure that it's something that can be compatible with my motherboard

Motherboard: Asus M11BB

Please reply as soon as possible so that I can return this PSU and get another one if needed

You wont be able to play that kind of games cause that is a really low profile graphics card, However your APU has a much better IGP (HD7560D) wich will give you a better performance and better gaming possibilities.

I was planning on getting like one Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 TI at best buy ---- do you think that would be a good fit to play games on max resolution + graphics quality? Sorry for the late replies

I have one 1680x1050 monitor (I know it's old lol).

So, If I input the new Voltage 600w PSU and install a Geforce GTX 660 TI, and with the specs of my comp, will it be able to work since I do want to play Rising Storm/RO2 and BF3 on ultra or high settings with maxed resolution settings? :D

I appreciate your help so far and yes I am close to chosing a solution :)

With that in mind, the question now is... Can I put these in my Asus Windows 8 computer??? :D

Also, the GTX 660 TI is a PCI-E 3.0 . I have a 2.0x16 PCI-E. Can I put a PCI-E 3.0 into a PCI-E 2.0x16?

also one last question... I have been hearing both here and there about how thermal take is some of them is bad and some is good. The one I have is a Thermaltake TR2 600w with a UL number "303666" and they say that with a UL number on the box like that usually is a good sign. But the Thermaltake is a TR2, and people have been giving bad reviews on it ---- so I am kinda stumped on rather to return or install into my computer. I am very weary in messing up my computer - a brand new one at that. I have bought the GTX 660 Ti, and I don't want to get things fried due to a horrid power supply.

FYI, I read this info according to this site:

As I told you before, I recommend Seasonic,XFX, Corsair, Antec
To be more specific, XFX650W XXX series, or Seasonic X-Series
the TR2 from Thermaltake is on tier 5:

So, you must return it as soon as possible.
