Not at all a 660 on its own would never use the full potential of pci-e 2 let alone pci-e 3 so not having pci-e 3 isn't an issue and your CPU and RAM are more than powerful enough to support the graphics card without causing a bottleneck you should have no worries what so ever. Enjoy the new card :D

Yup, if you are feeling more brave, ive got a very good custom bios for it also that I have made, which increases the speed of the vram, the boost clock and boost limit, and also raises the power target - Its still limited by your cooling but allows much more potential than what you can get out of afterburner.

Yeah, I use this rom on the stock cooler in my other computer.

You can download the bios here:

Youll need to use NVflash to upload it to your card.

Standard 660 bios on the left, my modded on the right. Voltages are still stock, but power target is also raised.

I would avoid it, looks fake and a few people have bought these fakes and they end up being much slower cards, except with the bios modded to look like a 660 in gpu z
