Hello,

I want to get a GTX 660 now and a new CPU/MOBO later.
The motherboard I have right now is a Biostar n68s3b and it has a PCI-E x16 1.0 slot on it, which is old considering the GTX 660 is compatible with a PCI Express 3.0 slot.

Will I run into any issues with this old slot?

Thanks in advance!

Yea, It's a Athlon II x3 450 processor, I'm getting a new CPU and motherboard soon though! Just want to get a fast GPU now because I want to play Bioshock Infinite sooooooo bad.

You should be able to play that game fine with a good GPU, I don't think it's a CPU hungry game.
