GTX 1050 Ti 4gb for Inspiron 660

[skycharge7]

Hello, I really need help with the graphics card. I am trying to upgrade to the top, GTX 1050 Ti 4gb for my Inspiron 660.

Specs:
PSU / Watts, 220
Core, Intel core i5 3340 @ 3.10
Ram, 12 GB
System type, 64 GB

i think that GPU will go great with your i5....BUT....I think you might need a new power supply. NVidia recommends at least 300 watts.

Is that one of the slim form factor Inspirons, or is it the normal size tower that uses the standard type of ATX power supply?

If the latter, yeah, a PSU upgrade is advised. If it's a slim form factor, then it probably has an unusual PSU physical size/shape, and probably no upgraded PSUs available to fit it.

There's also a thread here on the Inspiron 660 with a similar question, but likewise, not entirely clear if it's a standard tower or small/slim form factor.
