I'm a bit of a nub-cake when it comes to graphics cards, and I've been thinking of upgrading my GTX 560 for a GTX 950 FTW. Only problem is, I don't know if it would be compatible with my system and power supply. I also don't know which GTX 950 to get, I looked on Newegg, and there were like a hundred million different GTX 950's. I also plan on getting a SSD to store the OS on so I can boot faster. Would my PSU be able to handle all of that?Or is it possible I could do somthing with SLI? Please help a poor newbie out!

I have a:
Windows 10 64 bit
ASUS P6T Motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67Ghz
3x Ripjaw 4Gb Ram DDR3-1333 1.5v for a Total of 12Gb
GTX 560 1024Mb
About 4 Good Fans (Excluding one on graphics card)
A 500Gb HDD
And finally a 600W power supply.

Thanks So Much!

your power supply is powerful enough to power your whole system the gtx 950 requires a recommended 350-410 Watts of power so youre gonna be fine.

Btw a tip:
when choosing a gpu at new egg scroll down until you find a tab called specifications there it should list all the requirements for this gpu including wattage
other than that i cant really tell if youre power supply has a the required pins to attack to the gpu your power supply must have some cables like a 4 / 6/ 8 pin connector coming out from it
