I want to switch out the video card on my Slade level 1 build from a 660 ti to a 7950 (for only $64 more).

Will I need to modify anything on the Slade level 1 build to accommodate the 7950? How much will the noise level increase going from a 660 ti to a 7950?

Budget: $2K

Expectations:
Will use with Single monitor (Dell U2412m) and a single video card

Usage:
Play games such as Civ 5 and web surfing

Hi bbbiemer.... Welcome to the forums.

Nothing else needs to be changed going from 660ti to 7950.

Here's a link comparing the two cards. The 7950 will be a little noisier when under load.   But, the Slade is quieter than most. The noise levels are at the bottom of link.

Hope this helps.

Edit...   Don't forget your free t-shirt.        Also, for another $50 or so the gtx 670 will be a little quieter and better with some games but not all.   The 7950 is a nice card that'll give great gaming with your monitor.     Use the link above to compare the 7950 and 670.
