Need some help upgrading the GPU in my OLD computer, wanted to know how to find out what version of PCI express i have(i think i have that).
and then what would be the max horsepower i could install within the current computer in terms of GPU (someone pointed out i will need a new PS as well).
ideally would like to stay under $200-$300 total for PS & graphics card.
