Would this graphics card work?

[meejs]

Hey experts! Currently i'm in search of a new desktop and I found this that caught my eye: am3985-ur21p
(http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007X0NBI8/ref=asc_df_B007X0NBI82323341?smid=A2NG4HB43UEDVL&tag=cnet-pc-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B007X0NBI8)

the only downside is the gfx card, and i'm wondering if either the geforce gtx 660 or 650 would work in the computer.

Thanks in advance guys!

If I'm right that's an Intel B75 MOBO inside. So Yes GTX 660/650 should plug in just fine.

thanks for the quick reply! the desktop also only has a 300w power supply, would the GTX 650 still be able to operate?

EDIT: I also have my eye on the radeon 7750 HD.
Would this gfx card work on this computer?

HD7750 would plug into this boad as well. as far as your power supply goes try checking it here: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

You may want to look into a power supply upgrade if yo plan on expanding your hardware.

a 650 or 7750 will be ok, those cards need little power (~50 watts or less)

but a 660 will need ~110 watts and a 6 pin power connection from the PSU; a 300 watt PSU won't have that nor is it a good idea to use an adapter for such low wattage.

bare minimum:
CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 $44.99
$24.99 after $20.00 rebate card

better and allow ANY single graphics card in that build:
CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 $59.99
$39.99 after $20.00 rebate card
