Back in the olden days when I was still a wee-little kid, I got myself a pre-built system that I thought would be good enough to play Minecraft (yes, I was a kid). The system was an ASUS M11BB with the A10-6700 APU with Radeon HD 8670D graphics.
Now, a few years later, I reopened the same desktop and decided to upgrade it a bit. I have a GTX 660 Ti that I will put in there and my question is, will the PSU: the Corsair CX500 be compatible with the system? I calculated how many amps would theoretically need per voltage (+3V, +5V, and +12V) and whether the PSU would even fit or not and I think I'm in the clear my a safe margin, however, i'm not too savvy with Power Supplies in general so I was wondering if there are any special things to consider.
This is my first question post on Tom's Hardware, please treat me well.
