Hello there, I am looking for someone who could tell me if I would be able to upgrade to

-GTX 660 Ti PE OC from MSI

-Corsair CX600 Power supply
(I do not know much about the psu, if anyone has a better recommendation under $100 I'd appreciate it.)

I currently have:
-
-GT630 gpu
-500W psu (All the info I have is the Watts)
-27' 1920x1080 Acer H274HL monitor
-i7 3770k intel processor (3.40 Ghz)
-12 gb ram
-2tb hardrive
-Acer Predator G3620 motherboard

I also noticed the GT630 gpu is a very small one, so I thought maybe my tower's measurements could also help.
Width 7.1 in
Depth 17.2 in
Height 16.5 in


Thanks in advance, I greatly appreciate the help!

The board should support the card but the PSU should be upgraded since it is likely a low quality unit.

Thanks, just to make sure though, will fitting in the power supply and gpu be a problem? Or will I have plenty of space in my case?

The card is 10.43" long and should fit most cases comfortably. If you are unsure, measure the inside of your case.

The Corsair CX600 should be fine for your needs.

Thanks a lot! I'll measure the inside today and hopefully order them soon! Can't wait to finally run every single game!
