[SOLVED] Upgrading GT610 to 1660 with current CPU i5-3330

[kaustubbhh]

I just want to upgrade my GPU to 1660 super without changing my current CPU i5-3330 for now (planning to upgrade CPU later) so which motherboard should I buy now as I have B75m-d3h which won't support 1660 card and also it should help me to upgrade my CPU in future (intel or AMD)

So suggest me a new motherboard for 1660 super with i5-3330 as my CPU.

Why don't you think your motherboard supports a 1660 GPU? It's a normal motherboard with a normal PCIE slot.

The larger question of support is power supply. Almost any motherboard made since 2010 will work with any GPU.

I have no clue if B75m could support 1660 as I read it somewhere that it does not support, but yeah I will surely check this and also upgrade a PSU with 650+W
Thanks mate

What make/model of 650w? Wattage tells us nothing, and not all PSU's are created equal. It can say 650w, and actually be a worse PSU, than a quality 450w.

I Agree to this, but yeah I will be aiming to get a minimum 80 bronze plus from known brand

There are poor quality 80 Bronze PSUs; it's a measure of efficiency, not quality. Which is why everyone is going to ask specifics.

Yeah, had corsair VS650 in my mind will that be good choice here seeing the i5 3330 CPU and 1660 GPU?

The newest Corsair VS PSUs are fine low-budget PSUs (not the older ones with green or orange lettering), but with a GTX 1660 Super to protect, I would not go any lower than a Corsair CX.
