GTX 760 compatible with this motherboard?

Casey Casey · Jul 13, 2013

I was wondering if this GTX 760 would be compatible with this motherboard.
Motherboard: http://www.microcenter.com/product/379475/M5A78L-M_LX_PLUS_Socket_AM3_760G_mATX_AMD_Motherboard

If not, would anyone have any good recommendations for another compatible motherboard?

Its compatible.
But what CPU are you getting with that board?

Novuake :

An AMD FX 4350 4.2 GHZ Quad-Core w/ 750W PSU

Casey Casey :

Sure you do not want to consider a better 970 chipset board?
Also a 6300 FX should be just as cheap as the 4350 and perform better.

Novuake :

Do you have any recommendations for a better motherboard that isn't too expensive?

That one. 750W PSU is also way to much. What exact model PSU are you looking at? You could save some money there too.

That is the current one I have picked out. I'm trying to keep the PSU under $50 (giftcard) but I wasn't having any luck with the others.

Yeah, that thing is a very bad excuse for a power supply, it will likely blow up sooner or later. A good PSU is the one place you NEVER cheap out on in a system. You get what you pay for when it comes to PSUs.

Do not get any cheaper than this one.

This one is even more reliable and higher quality.

Those look very good. But how much room for upgrades will the 600W give me, or even the 550W? Thanks for the help so far, by the way

Novuake · Jul 13, 2013

Its a pleasure, just glad you came for help before buying that PSU. You can put ANY single graphics card with a single GPU on that 550W PSU. Even a GTX780/GTX Titan.

Casey Casey · Jul 13, 2013

Well, I think I will pair the PSU and better motherboard with the 760. Thanks again for the help!

All good! Have fun! Great card that GTX760!
