Why Are You Upgrading: I'm selling my old parts and am looking to upgrade to get better performance.
I am basically selling my younger brother my old computer and have been upgrading my computer. I am currently running an AMD FX-8350 paired with an Nvidia GTX 650 Ti and 16GB of ram. I have a couple cards in mind and I am insistent on staying with Nvidia. The cards that I have in mind are the Nvidia GTX 660/660Ti, the Nvidia GTX 750/750Ti, and the Nvidia GTX 760. What I planned on doing was getting the 660 because it is cheaper and is still a great card, but would it be more beneficial to get the 700 series or just stick with the 660? I'd prefer if I could also save some money here because it is a pretty pricey purchase and I'm not a hardcore graphics guy, but I'd like to at least be able to game on high settings.
If I were to get either the 660 or 760, would I also have to upgrade my power supply? Or would the 535W PSU i have now be more than sufficient in powering my system?
Thanks again guys!
