Upgrading to a GTX660

[E.Berridge]

I have decided to upgrade mu GPU from a GT440 to a GTX660 :EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Superclocked 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE Borderlands 2 & Assassin's Creed III PC Games (02G-P4-2662-KR) [02G-P4-2662-KR]

and i was wondering would this power supply be able to support this graphics card

Yea depending on the rest of your system.

Im a little un clear on your answer did you mean you need to know my system stats?

If you have an Intel CPU you will be fine, if you have an 8 core AMD FX then it's pushing it. The CX and GS series of Corsair PSUs are not made by Seasonic so you can't really push them the same way you can the TX/HX/AX series.
If you have say an i5 it'll take about 95w as opposed to an 8 core FX taking over 200. The 660ti can take almost 200 itself meaning the combo is pushing your PSU efficiency.

The overall answer is yes, it'll work. I'm very OCD on power supplies.

Hmmm, I would suggest upgrading to a 650 W PSU as your current PSU may not suffice.
