Pairing GPU with Motherboard?

seanapa · Mar 26, 2013

I literally just ordered the first piece to my first gaming pc, the Motherboard:

http://www.amazon.com/ASRock-DDR3-1333-Intel-Motherboards/dp/B007OCJWTM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364351437&sr=8-1&keywords=asrock+ddr3+1333+intel+-+lga+1155+motherboards+h77m

I decided to get the MoBo, and CPU and build around that.I am getting an Intel i3 dual core 3.3 ghz 3 mb cache.

Where do I even begin to look into graphics cards?What are key points that I need to follow.

Thanks for any help.

You need to take care of differend things. Now lets say what matters most to least at graphics card. GPU (actual graphics processor (gk 104 for example) that process things). Power usage (with too high power usage or if your PSU doesnt have 6-pin power connectors card wont work good/ will be overheated). Cooling (usually fans that keep GPU cooled. May need 6-pin power connector. With better fans and lower temp your graphics life can expand). Multiple HDMI/VGA connectors (only if you need eyefinity/surround(multi screen)). Clock speed (you can overclock card if you want so not much important and 50MHz doesnt bring MUCH advantage). Buy new cards not used!!!

Hope it helps!
