Hope this is the right place for this, I just have a upgrade question.

I have a Lvl 3 Bolt system the original system, I already purchased a GTX780TI card and will install soon. I noticed the PS requirements is 600Watts but the Bolt has a 500W, Am I still ok on this new video card install? The card in there now is the GTX 660TI.

Also I'm sure can figure it out but are there any videos, tips, write ups, advice on replacing the video card in the Bolt? So I can save time, trail and error.

Hi Osros... the 500watt psu can easily handle the 780ti. The 600 w is based on a typical full size mobo, system.

There is a video showing how to change the card. I'm not at my rig so hopefully others will see this and link it for you. Otherwise, I'll do it tomorrow.

Good luck.

I have the 780 Ti, works like a charm with the 500W PSU, never even comes remotely close to overload.

And here is the video of the Bolt GPU replacement:
