Hi all, I am looking the gtx660. It requires a 450w 12v 24a psu. I currently run a bfg atx12v 2.2 450w dual 12v rail 22a. Looks like id need to upgrade psu as well but unsure. Thanks in advance

My setup is
Intel core 2 quad 2.83ghz
Evga 750i logic board
8gb ddr2
500gb hdd x2
Disc drive x2
Sound card

Don't downgrade your gpu. If you want the 660, then get it. Honestly it will work fine. The headroom is not that big of an issue, but don't plan on overclocking or sli. But it is still great to get a better psu.

If I were you I would definitely upgrade the psu. Your system will perform better if the psu has some headroom. This will also leave room for overclocking and future upgrades. If you really can't upgrade, then don't. But I would recommend upgrading.
