Will a gtx 660 non ti work on my computer

depends on the cpu, motherboard, how many hdds, fans your case contains.
if your pairing it with say an amd 8350 you will need 120w for the cpu, 20w for the motherboard 10w per fan, 20w per hdd, 40w dvdrw and then add in about 140w for the gpu.
you will likely be very close to the max output of that psu, certainly over 80% usage which will shorten its life quickly if its not a very good 1.
so for the sake of saftey i would say get something a little stronger for the psu to give you some headroom for other parts as well as the gpu.

Nvida states a min. of a 450W psu. The 660 has a max power draw of 140W. The quality of the psu is important. What brand psu do you own?
thats a 125w cpu so yeah it will likely be a little to close for comfort so yeah i would recomend you step up to at least a 500w psu unit at the least. i know its more than nvidias requirements but that little overhead will pay for itself in the psu's life cycle if you buy a decent 1.

With a OEM psu in the HP I would go with a gtx 750ti. The performance is very close to the 660 with a power draw of 75W. It will be easier on the psu and it cost $30 to 40 less($130-150).
