    Looking to upgrade my basic 6670 graphics card for a GTX660. I was just wondering if my Thermaltake Munich 430W will support this card or will I need more power?

    Heres my current PSU:

    If i need more power could you guys suggest a modular PSU?
    Woulkd prefer to use Amazon due to only buying a handfull of things.

    Its a reasonably decent psu should manage fine with one GTX 660.

    Here you go
    The wattage depends on your setup, future overclocks or upgrades like extra peripherals

    Some of the 660s seem to need two PCI-E power cables while others use one. Since you just have the one, you might want to check up on the card that you intend to buy.

    I was looking at the Gigabyte GTX660 Windforce OC version.
    All it says is that it has PCI-E 3.0. Doesnnt mention if it needs a 2nd 6 pin PCI-E. Any ideas if that needs more than 1 6 pin?
