I'm looking to upgrade my MSi Radeon 6570HD low profile edition 1gb to a 6670hd. Is it worth it? Will there be a big difference? Considering my low PC specs.

PC specs:
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E4500 2.2Ghz
GPU: Msi radeon 6570hd
RAM: 2gb ddr2 pc800
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster TA350

thank you guys!

What is your current power supply? The GTX 560ti is a massive electricity guzzler. The GTX 660 is the better buy in my opinion as it has newer architecture and is a lot more energy efficient. You can probably even find an old AMD 7850, or its rebrand, the R9 270 for a good price these days which would be even better.

That is a bit of a lateral upgrade. You are not getting much of a performance boost. I highly recommend the newer 2GB R7 260X for a budget graphics card. AMD will even have a new budget graphics card called the R7 360X out later this year that looks extremely promising.

Will getting a Zotac GTX 560 Ti make a difference? I changed my mind on getting that 6670.

I have only a Generic PSU. It has a wattage of 600W. Will it pull through?

I can not say for certain, but the nvidia site recommends a 550w PSU.
It might be ok, but it is hard to tell with older generic PSUs.

I honestly recommend something that uses slightly less power if you can afford it.
A GTX 560 should work well.
