Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my GPU from my old GTS 450 and am a little confused by the difference between PCIe x16 and PCIe 3.0, and whether or not I'd need to upgrade my motherboard to support a Radeon R9 280X. After looking up my Motherboard I'm pretty sure its PCIe x16 but no idea if that means its a 3.0 version or lower, and since the 280X says 3.0 I just thought I'd ask before investing in one.
My specs are:
16GB DDR3 RAM
MOBO: ASUS H81M-E
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770, 3.40GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTS 450
PSU says 230V - 4A so that's like 920W?
I'm kind of new to this stuff so if there's any more information you need just let me know.
Thanks!
