First of all, Im pretty new to this whole PC upgrading/building thing, so please bear with me

Im trying to upgrade my current GT 440 to a newer model since I get less FPS in new games, I dont need to have a new high-end card, but getting a steady 60 FPS on medium setting in most games would be nice

a friend recommended me the GTX 660 as a soild choice of card, the problem I ran into is however this:

I bought my PC prebuild with a motherboard I cant really identify and I have a FSP Group 450-60 EP PSU that delivers 450 Watt max
so I guess its a bad idea to grab a new card if my PC cant really support it

I also saw a pretty cheap GTX 650 that I might get with a discount, and I guess I can actually use it with my current set up

is there anything I should consider, what do you guys think, which card is the better choice and why?

after a bit of online research I have to say, that card doesnt sound bad at all
I guess my PSU can handle that GPU, what I (yet) dont know is, how can I connect it with my motherboard?
just pop my old GPU out and this new one in?
or do I need the 6 pin cables for it?

also what are the differences between the brands/manufacturers?
