Hello, I bought this prebuilt PC a month ago and it's doing just fine. Games work well but I'd like to be able to play them at 1080p 60FPS. I was wondering if this card would do that, and if it's compatible with my PC.

Card: EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card

My PC: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-desktop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/1494222.p?id=1219052698508&skuid=1494222&sellerId=

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227391 From this listing, it looks like it has a 600 W PSU, I don't know the efficiency certification, so that's on the shady side, but at face value, it could power a system with a 760.

Well, it depends on the game, the 760 is mostly derived from the 670 which was a helluva performer a year or so ago. It could max out a lot of games on 1080p, but the gaming world hasmoved on ever since and has added more demanding titles ever since.

Hi,

it should be compatible but it is hard to know if you have a open slot for it.
In the description, I can't find the mobo descritopn or anything

on the website description, I found
Available Expansion Slots
1 PCI Express 2.0 x1

For digital cameras and digital audio players: Slots that allow the addition of a removable memory card, such as Secure Digital or CompactFlash, to increase storage capacity.

For computers: Slots on the motherboard that accept sound cards, video cards, memory and other upgrade cards.

So it should, but also you need a good 500w PSU minimum to run the card properly.
