Okay so i currently got a ADM Radeon HD 6450 GPU and think its highly time for an upgrade. However i have never upgraded, or built any computer before and this is all very confusing.
The GPU i want is the Gainward GeForce GTX 760 2GB PhysX CUDA
Now this card requiers me to have.
So the first question is, Is my motherboard PCI Express-Compliant?
I think it would be as CPU-Z Says my Graphics Interface Version is PCI-Express.
But it also states that it needs to be Dual-width x16 graphics slot, and I'm not sure about that.
Power Suply Unit
And then theres the whole PSU deal. Im pretty sure that i will HAVE to get a new PSU to get this thing to work.
My reasoning behind this is.
I cant seem to find any 6pin power connectors at all.
My 12V rating is 20A when it needs to be 30A.
And I'm not sure if 500W is enough with all the other parts using power.
So I've been looking at the Corsair CX 500M, 500W PSU.
Is the 500W enough? or should i go with something like the 600W or the 750W?
Sorry about the long post but i wanted to give you all the information I could think of.
I've attached all the CPU-Z Information and a couple of pictures of my computer in the hopes that this would be enough.
This is all very scary, but I can't stand the 6450 anymore, there isnt a single game i can play without beeing on the Lowest graphics with a FPS of around 15-20
So just to recap my questions,
Will the gtx 760 work?
Should i get the corsair CX 500W psu?
Thank you all in advance
