I'm going to be upgrading my computer's video card, but I cannot decide what PSU I need. I used a wattage calculator from Newegg and it said I needed a 425W module. I don't know what to look for in terms of compability with my computer. The PSU needs to be able to work with everything I have installed now and be compatible with the video card. Any help?

As you are probably aware, your existing PSU will not support the GTX 660 GPU......see below for a reference page explaining system power needs according to the type and amount of GPUs installed in the system:

I'd recommend getting a quality PSU from a respected manufacturer such as Seasonic, XFX, Corsair (except their CX series) or Antec.
