that is a pretty good CPU, it real weakness is the lack of RAM. I would try to get 2 4 GB sticks to replace the 2 GB sticks I think you have. the issue is, is that it appears you have a 32 bit OS, so you cannot get above 4 GB, so you might want to invest in a 64 bit OS. A 660 will want more power than that power supply can give. for a 660 I would say around 550 watts. I'll go post some power supply ideas.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your advice

Will update my PC's RAM and PSU as per your advice.

Actually My monitor's resolution is just "1366 X 768".

So, Will it be ok to prefer Asus Nvidia GTX 750 ti 2 GB OC edition depending on My screen resolution?

I'm little confused here

I need to know which card is best for my screen?

Is it Asus Nvidia GTX 750 ti 2 GB OC (or) Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2 GB GDDR5 ?

Please share your thoughts and advice.

Awaiting your response.

well, both cards will do great on that screen. the GTX 660 will be slightly more powerful. but the 750ti will do about as well. with that power supply a 750ti is a better idea, as 450 is the minimum recommend by nvidia for the 660.
