Hi, just wanting some advice on upgrading my current computer (Dell Vostro 460).
Current specs are:
CPU: i7-2600 3.4GHz
Memory: 8gb RAM
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6670
Motherboard: Stock Vostro 460 motherboard, Model 0Y2MRG
PSU: Stock Dell 350W psu
I'm looking to upgrade to a GTX 960 (currently looking at Gainward GW-GTX960-2G (3392) 2G GTX 960 OC PCI-E VGA Card), or similar of that level and price, as well as PSU to accommodate for it (currently considering Antec HCG-520M 520W).
However I'm still new to all this, and I'm not sure about the compatibility of the components - I researched around and there have been a few mentions of possible issues with the BIOS for Vostro 460 upon installing certain GPUs, but nothing concrete.
So I was just hoping someone could have a look over and tell me if there's anything I should know, if the GPU and PSU are suitable and compatible with the motherboard, if they should all fit in the case, etc.
Thanks!
