hi thx
I have 33 w adapter
Q1. so if I was going to get a nVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 960is there any limit to the on board memory size
Q3.what size dose the card need to be to fit in the x51 case
Q3. is there any way I could get a bigger power supply/adapter that would work in my x51 that would power a bigger card eg 1050 1060 1070 1080
thx for your help Eimy

well the 330watt can support the 970 GTX as it was an option with the R3 .. I have an R3 with a 6700k and a 1070 GTX .. the 1070 draws ~5 watts more then the 970 .. also if you look on this forum you wil lsee some that have done the 1080 successfully ..
the only way for more then the 330 is a modded dual psu if it would even work (have one but to chicken to try LOL) or remove everything into another case to use a standard ATX power supply ..
