Graphics card power supply

Hi Guys

recently i was thinking about upgrading my Graphics card from my current Geforce 8600 Gt 512mb to a more modern one to prepare for company of heroes 2 which comes out early next year

i've been looking at the 600 series from nvidia and was thinking of either the GTX 650 or GTX 660 or gtx 560

here are my specs

4 gb ram

Amd phenon quad core 2.2ghz

my power supply is 420 watt

will i have adequate power to run any of these cards

and in ur opinion which card is best my price range is $200- 250 max

thanks guys

sweet thanks, how do u find the card is it powerful enough, can it run most games, how much did it cost u and does it have its own power lead and if so how many pin is the connector.

thanks

I would actually go for a bit more. GTX670 and a new PSU just in case, cause I see Company2 having lots happening on screen (CPU has to be strong too). Just check the price differences and your budget of course.FelipeInside

the 670 is ideal but a bit out of my price range as i would also need to upgrande my PSU and probably my cpu as well but i think the 660 will be able to do the job,

oh and do you know what sort of power cable the 660 takes eg. 6 pin, 4 pin etc

I can run Crysis 2 at max settings at 1080p. I average probably around 40 frames or so. Its a pretty demanding game on ultra settings.

i would settle for an hd 6870 tbh. tc (based on everything he ahs told us) probably has a phenom I x4 or for you intel trapped folks who dont know anything about pre am3 cpu's he has a core 2 duo e 8200

For company of heroes 2, I'd get a new CPU too.

i would not hesitate to get the 660 but my psu is only 420w will that be enough to run the 660 when requirements say at least 650-500w

HD 6850, 6870, 7850 are all heavily recommended

well on the side it says

AC input: 115v/230v 10A/5A 50-69Hz

Dc Output: +12v +5v +3.3v -5v -12v +5vsb

Current: 16A 30A 30A 0.5A 0.5A 2A

max Output power: 420W

is this powerful enough to run a 660

thanks

I wouldn't go with the 650. It's a LOT weaker than the 660.

Looks like TC needs:

New CPU

New PSU

New GPU

Looks like a new PC to me...
