So at the moment I have a Nvidia GeForce GT 440 and am hoping to upgrade to a 660 Ti or similar, but I can't make sense of my power supply. ( Picture of what it says: http://imgur.com/nxLdkof )

What would be the best gpu I could get with this power supply?
What are the limits to this power supply?

Thanks in advance

300W appears to be your maximum, half of which would then go into your graphics card, essentially tripling your gfx power draw...

...and wtf is wrong with you? Why did you give us picture with upside down text? Is it really too much of a god-damned effort to turn your camera upside down for us to read more easily?

Like I said, 300W. I don't know how much the rest of your components eat away, but half of what you got would go into the graphics card.

For a 660ti you are looking at 130-160W of power for your Graphics Card at max load. The very maximum load your Power Supply can output is 300W as the guy said above. If you want to have something better, then a GTX 670 is an option, but you are looking at 150-190W for that.
