Hello, I currently 6 year old computer and I was thinking of upgrading it with new graphics card. My current specs are:
Motherboard: Asus P5N-D (2 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 2 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394)
CPU: QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300, 2500 MHz (7.5 x 333)
System Memory: 8192 MB (DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM)
Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+ (512 MB)
PSU: 850W
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Screen Resolution: 1680x1050 (16:10)
My question is: Would it be OK if I upgraded the old GFX with newer GTX650 Ti 1GB, or even GTX660 2GB. I know it would be wiser to just buy a new setup, but I don't need that right now. I think a new card would be ok for me right now. At newer games my FPS are really bad even on low settings. Would really like to play at least on Medium/High.

Your board has PCIe 2.0 and you definitely have the PSU to power either of the cards you're looking at.
