Question 1

core i5 2500
asus p8p67 pro
wd seagate barracuda 500 gb and I would like to buy another hdd up to 2tb
gtx 460 se 1gb 
2 x4gb ddr3 kingston 1333 mhz
and  thermaltake purepower 550w will it run the gtx 660ti?

Accepted Answer

Using the power supply calculator provided on NewEgg, I've found that you'd need around a little under 500 watts to run everything if you replaced your GTX 460 with this card. It should be enough wattage to handle your set up. Try using this tool to your specifications: http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html Please note that this is only a tool for estimating the wattage required.

Question 2

Could this overheat my system with the slight OC? I have never ran anything OC'd before and I don't want to make any mistakes here.

Accepted Answer

If you have cooling problems now this won't help. I have two in sli and the cards stay fairy cool but they do produce a lot of heat that the case must remove. The cards already have an oc, but you should be able to go alittle more. Make shure your power supplie can handle the extra load or you will have systen crash issues. I think they need about 175 watts to run

Question 3

Will it fit in a HAF 922 case?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, first of all the HAF series cases are quite large.  I have done builds with the HAF X, 922, 912.  That being said I have this card in the Cooler Master Elite 120 which is a mini ITX case.

The 660 Ti is actually quite small.  It replaced my 5870 and I was surprised how small it was considering the power this thing puts out.  I would say this should fit most if not all modern cases including the ITX series.

Coolermaster has always given me more than enough room to build and clean up wires.  They are actually my go to case manufacturer now.

Question 4

Is this card compatible with the mac pro 1.1 from 2006?

Accepted Answer

Although not really listed as compatible, many people have had no issues installing NVidia 660 cards, so long as you have mountain lion and the 6pin power supply plugs available.
