    Help with buying: nVidia EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked


    I am going to buy a nVidia EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked from tech4u.com. Although Fumz has kind of said that my computer is compatible for the card, I just want to make sure. It's a lot of money and I'd hate it if I find out i doesn't fit in my computer after I've bought it. So anyway, will this graphics card work with my computer?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jaidyn

    The first problem will be making sure it will fit...so measure! Second that card requires two pci six pin power connectors....Your spec's on psu just say 550w....Read Punksters tutorial on psu's:https://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-c...ead-first.html

    You have a 16X PCIE slot....if the psu is up to the job....and if it fits, it will work....

    Make sure that you have two 6 pin power connectors available for it.
