Help with first time graphics card upgrade

[Zoltan]

Been a while since I've posted, but got another question. My friend told me instead to upgrade to the 660 ti 2g. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3755049&CatId=7387 Will this work with my current setup? My motherboard only supports up to 2.0 PCI express, so does that mean the card won't work with it?

Should work fine once you've upgraded the PSU, what have you got now?

The PSU? I'm going to upgrade to this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4362115&csid=_61

Yeah that'll be fine.

Hello I came across this thread with the exact same computer and was looking to upgrade my video to a geforce660. Do I really need to upgrade the PSU? If I do is this one ok? Will it fit my case? Just for reference this is the computer Im upgrading.

yes with that card or each other card of this class you nee to upgrade youre psu.
and yes that is a good psu, the card is good you could also if you have the money look for the 660 ti, ore foor amd,s 7850/7870
still the psu 620 watt is enough.

Yes should all fit.

In future though, please start your own thread. Thanks.
