Your PC will run it without any problems provided you have enough power i.e a good PSU

How do i check my PSU has enough power to run the card ?

The 660 requires a minimum of 500W(an overstated value, a 450W would still run it) and a 6pin pcie connector. If you have such a PSU you will
Be alright

That is not the only thing you need to know to pick a video card, that's only the CPU and RAM. TYou also need to know power supply brand/model, case size, motherboard brand/model. You can have a fast CPU in a small case that won't hold any type of video card.

I checked my power supply and its a 450W, if i dont upgrade to a 500W will this harm my computer in the long run?

450W can support it if its a high quality branded psu...must be 80+ bronze certified
