yes, easily, very easily. But you might add another 3 fans. LOL just kidding. It will power more than you have listed without any problems.

oh man, sorry, didn't notice it was a PCI Express mother-board. But hold on.

I would rather see you get this card from here for two reasons. This site is $50.00 cheaper, and all sales of the eVGA cards have a lifetime warranty on them. You can't beat that, period. Nobody else, as far as I have seen, can beat the warranty. I also don't like overclocked cards to be honest. I suspect that is what the OC is in the description. If you buy 2, then you save $100.00.
Choice is yours, but a 6600 GT is also a very good card. Some would rather buy the 6600 GT and saving more than paying more for only a one generation upgrade.
Check it out, just another option for you!!

Edit by Ardie: This card DOES follow under the rules of a lifetime warranty !!! |
