inspiron 660 full tower psu & gpu upgrade

[crazygamerfreak]

My dad gave me an inspiron 660. the specs are Here (I did install a wd 160 gb hdd and an nvidia quadro nvs 290.) I am interested in upgrading to a gigabyte gtx 970 mini itx and a corsair cx650m power supply I wanted to know if the gpu would work with the psu, and if the gpu would work with the cpu without upgrading cpu to core i5 or i7.

If this is the inside of your PC, any PCIe x16 card should work. http://i42.tinypic.com/2144k5i.jpg
That's a mid-tower, not a full tower, btw.

And any ATX PSU should work as well. So yes, the GTX 970 and Corsair PSU should be fine.
The i3-3220 might bottleneck the GTX 970 occasionally in CPU limited games, but overall, not a deal breaker.
