Is GeForce GTX 660 compatible with a Dell Inspiron 660?

Question

I am thinking about purchasing a GeForce GTX 660 graphics card for my Dell Inspiron 660 desktop computer, but I've never purchased a GFX card before, and I'm not sure if it is compatible with said computer.

This is my PC: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-inspiron-3000-desktop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/4629248.p?id=1219100305398&skuId=4629248&ref=06&loc=01&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=4629248&extensionType=pla:g&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!42057919639!g!!49989914959&kpid=4629248&k_clickid=1d979b0c-770e-8048-7a30-0000198a19d5

And this is the GFX card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130825

So all I want to know is if I can use that GFX card with my PC or not. Help would be much appreciated. :)

Answer 1

Unless someone has the very same PC they can't answer the question exactly. There's a few things you need to look for

You absolutely need at least one PCIe X16 slot, and a 6 pin PCI power connector.

If you can find one of these slots

and

one of these power connectors

You're good

If your PSU is missing the connector, you can replace it, but without a x16 connector there's no way you can use the video card
