So I just ordered an EVGA GTX660 2 gig, and am currently using a GTX550TI 1 gig. I have a Corsair GS700 PSU and I wanted to use the 550 as a PhysX card. Rest of my specs are intel i7 860 @2.80 ghz 95w, 8 gigs of Corsair xms3 ram 4 2 gig sticks, Soundblaster x-fi titanium fatality gaming soundcard, 2 dvd-rw drives, 1 1tb hd and the mobo is an ASUS P7P55D evo. Thanks.

    It will work fine, even if you overclock.

    Yes it will be fine, although if the PSU is over 4 years old you might want to replace it

    It's almost 4 years old but I thought psu's could last 100,000 hours? The MTBF rating on mine is >100,000 hours anyway. And I know Corsair makes pretty good psu's.

    4 years is around the time the psu begins to degrade. You can run it longer but it's just a recommendation

    I see thanks for that info, with that being known I think I'll probably buy a new psu on black Friday or cyber Monday this year.
