Would a GTX 650 2GB work with alienware x51?

[Thefreeman75]

Hi; I've recently purchased a GTX 650 2048MB version and installed it in my Alienware X51, using the 330 watt PSU. I'm a tad concerned about potential overheating and damage to components. I've heard the X51's 330 PSU is more than capable of running up to the GTX 660, though I've also heard of major heating issues there. Have you had any overheating/power issues concerning a GTX 650 2GB version with an Alienware X51? Should I upgrade to a better PSU?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking; will stating this number provide information on its exact specifications?

I have a buddy who owns an X51 with a GTX 660 and the 330W PSU. He's never had any problems so far. He's had it for around 1.5 years now. That said, I think it does need dusting out once in a while to make sure components don't heat up too much.
In case you were planning to upgrade the PSU, where do you intend to buy a beefier one? AFAIK, the beefiest PSU for the X51 is the 330W one.
