Compatibility Help Please

[Grimmeh]

Hello I want to know if the EVGA GTX 660 SuperClocked (2GB or 3GB) is compatible with my motherboard the AAHD2-HY (Holly2)?
My computer is an HP-2376

 

[PallindroneT3604]

Yes....after peeping the specifications of the Holly2, it would appear to be OK.

Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards < FROM THE SITE under the video tab , you WILL NEED A NEW POWER SUPPLY ALSO.

Here's one that should fit , same size as one in HP but a lot more power.

Can I get the power supply later or I need it now when I get the Graphics Card?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

You need it now.

 

[Grimmeh]

You need it now.

What about this?

Can there be a PSU from Newegg or TigerDirect instead of another Website?

Well alright, I never tried NCIX. I will get the Graphics Card Today but not the power supply at the same day. So when I get the Power Supply, I will install the Graphics Card

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Sounds like a good plan.

Well when I buy the GPU, it will get rid of my whole wallet, but when I have enough, I will order the PSU. But as well as I want to thank you all for the support, I really appreciate it.

I didn't get the GPU yesterday because I actually done some research and this one is actually cheaper. But is this one compatible with the aahd2-hy (Holly2) motherboard?

 

[PallindroneT3604]

That one will work as well...you still may need to consider the power issues as well, however. These PCIx16 3.0 cards are backward compatible....there may be a bottleneck of data, but you could still use it as well as your original selection. The cards have a capacity to perform on higher level.....but will work OK in your rig.
