My motherboard is an AsRock M3A770DE. I have an AMD Phenom ii X4 955 Black Edition, 4 x4 gb RAM, and a GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

I want to upgrade the GPU, something like 2gb GDDR5. so it would have to be a PCI 3.0 right? But I can't find any motherboards compatible with my CPU, because it's AM3...

Any help would be great.

So, I just saved a lot of money then, right? I don't have to buy a new motherboard at all then. I just get a new GPU and it should slip right in?

That's what i got right now. trying to upgrade that GPU, this should be a fine build tho? I don't want to go over $180 if necessary on a GPU.

I'm not sure what Rs is, Rupees maybe? I'm thinking about getting an MSI R9 270. It's around $179.99 US.

Hehe. Its fine. The one I had in mine was the MSI R9 270.

I'm looking for something cooler and quieter than my 550 ti. And I've read the reviews and compared to other cards around the same price. I say it's a good buy, pretty much the same as the 270x except I got to manually OC it. No big deal though.

What do you think?
