i5 3330 3.00Hz

Lestat1984 · Dec 29, 2013

My question is, could my X51 be upgraded from a GT 640 to a GTX 660, I mean, could the i5 3330 be able to run it ( computer is less than a year old if that matters ) I'm a noob with computers

Yes, the i5 will in no way cause any problems with the more powerful gpu

Brantyn Gerik :

Will I need to upgrade the power supply, I have read on other forums, and seen in video that some did, and some didn't, Thanks

Depends on what power supply you currently have. As you haven't listed it, i can in no way give you a certain answer

My current power supply is only 240W so I figured I will have to upgrade it. Will any GTX 660 fit or is there specific brand that I would need. Thanks for all your guys help

Yes. You have to buy the 330w power supply FROM ALIENWARE.

Think about 750TI. Released several days ago, vary capable and efficient GPU.
Check tom's review here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-750-ti-review,3750.html
It is slightly weaker than 660 but 90% will run with the current Power supply.

I agree with Nikola A. In fact, I'm also getting a 750 ti for my 330w computer with i5-3330. But Lestat1984, if I were you, get the regular GTX 750 (not ti) just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for all your answers. It helps a lot. The GTX 750 will fit in the X51 ?
