tips for upgrade please

[kingking2013]

hello guys. I am new to this forum. I would like to ask some question about my upgrade. I currently bought a CPU and i am planning to upgrade it. This is my current specs:

Specs:
Motherboard:Intel DQ67SW
Processor:Intel i5 2400
Graphic Card:Nvidia GeForce GT 630
RAM: 8 gb ram ( 4x 2gb ram dd3 )

and I am planning to upgrade the gpu to Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660. Is my motherboard compatible to that Gpu??


thanks guys. Sorry for being newbie about upgrading

I'm picking yes, but without knowing your psu no one can answer with any certainty.

ohh sorry about that. my psu is 300w but i just ordered from amazon a Corsair 500W CX Builder 80 Plus Bronze PSU and zalman z11 plus case.

Motherboard compatible, but unknown if the PSU will be able to support the new load from the GPU.

Edit: after new PSU in place it should boot fine, provided you make all the required power connections to the GPU.

Well your good to go then.
