The War Within Alpha - Warbands Feature Overview
MMO-Champion
Hi guys!
I bought a new PC about 5 months ago with the following specs:
Motherboard - Asus P8H61 -M LX
CPU - i5 2500k @ 3.3 GHz
RAM - 2x Patriot Signature DDR3 4GB CL9 PC3-10600 (1333MHz) DIMM
GPU - Nvidia GTX 550 Ti
PSU - XFX PRO 450W Core Edition
This cost about £450 which was great for my financial position back then and I bought it knowing that I would upgrade parts of it in the future.
I am wanting to upgrade my graphics card to either a 660 Ti, 670 or 680 depending on prices and I just wondered if I needed to upgrade anything else to make it compatible with those cards such as motherboard or power supply?

the only thing you "might" need to address is the psu mate. depending if your gonna go up to the 680. you might need to go to maybe 550.. im not totally sure of the top of my head, but if your pushing the 680 to max you might be goin near max load on a 450. i maybe wrong, but just have a look at it mate...

He'll be close, but the 680 won't push him over the top of the 450 watt PSU.
