Hello,
I'm thinking about getting the GeForce GTX 960 and I was worried that I will also need to upgrade things like my power supply or any other hardware. Lets just say I have a bad power supply.
Can you guys recommend some hardware that would run smoothly with the gtx 960.
Also If their is anything else I would need like a new cpu or anything like that can you please tell me or recommend one. Thanks

my specs:
Graphics card - Nvidia geforce gtx 650
Processors - (4x) Intel core i5-4570 CPU 3.20GHz
WINDOWS 7
Current Resolution - 1920 x 1080, 60Hz
RAM - 8.00gb
system type - 64bit

Sorry i don't know how to view my power supply if you want to know, I need a new anyway so please recommend what would go well this the gtx 960

I'm happy to buy any other things if necessary to run the gtx 960 so don't hold back on anything need

Unfortunately, the PSU is really the only thing we need to know. Other than that, it should work fine. It looks like it uses about twice as much power as the 650 (120W compared to 64W), so the only question is if your PSU can handle it
