This is how your case looks inside

Now we measuring inches, so you can see that until circled connector is about 8.5 inches and until hard drive box is about 9.5-10 inches, your MSI 760 is 10.24" x 4.96" x 1.50" so this card would not fit, power supply is good choice.

Look for those 2 cards, first fit easy, MSI GeForce GTX 760 GAMING ITX 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127772 6.7" x 4.7" x 1.4

Second, more tight fit, will go over the circled connector - ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 760 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121775 8.6" x 5" x 1.5"

I highlighted the length of the card...

Sorry to get back so late, missed this. But yes both the PS(as the OEM PS is too weak) and the Grapics Card mentioned above. But FYI, there has been suggested an even better card to fit this 660:

The PS is a 550w if I remember correctly.

But I'm going to have to check if this card is compatible with the Dell BIOS for the 660. As I believe I've read of BIOS problems recently with some of the newer GTX cards and Inspirons.

I have an old Nvidia 555 card from an Alienware X51 that I upgraded. I'd like to use this in the Dell 660 but I can't figure out how to connect the extra power connector on the 555. Any advice? Can it be done?

Thanks
