Thank you for your help =)

The card will fit every motherboard.

Upgrade to another LGA1155 mobo? Or with a new cpu to a LGA1150 mobo?

chris987 · Apr 28, 2014

your mobo is fine and can acommodate the gpu.you will be needing at least a sandy bridge i3 to make good use of gtx760 and minimise the chance of any cpu bottleneck.!

I was also wondering what can I use to clean the inside of my computer without destorying the motherboard

i7Baby · Apr 28, 2014

Compressed air - you can even by cans of it. Or a vacuum cleaner (be careful).

chris987 · Apr 28, 2014

compressed air yes, i woudnt suggest vacuum, wont suffice and due to closer use there is damage potential.!

Stormhunt1 · Apr 28, 2014

The compressed air would clean the video card and the psu? =)

chris987 · Apr 28, 2014

Stormhunt1 :

yes

i7Baby · Apr 28, 2014

its mainly coolers and filters you want to clean

Stormhunt1 · Apr 28, 2014

Oh ok so it dosen't matter if the video card or psu get dirty? and if i was to clean the video card and psu how would i clean them?

Sorry if i'm annoying you.

Stormhunt1 :

you can apply compressed air on any device just make sure you have your tower unplugged.you can do it once in a while!

i7Baby · Apr 28, 2014

Everything should be cleaned, but especially coolers and filters

Stormhunt1 · Apr 29, 2014

Sorry but I was just wanted to ask how can I clean my CPU fan do I take it apart and clean it or just leave it on the motherboard and spray it?

Also In regards to fans my case only has 1 fan and thats at the back of the case this is my case: Thermaltake VM350B1W2A

I just wanted to ask will it still push air into my computer normally? and not get it dusty

i7Baby · Apr 29, 2014

Juts blow out the cpu fan where it sits. No need to pull it out of the cooler.

Gee your case should have more than 1 fan. At least add one more to the front of the case. I rear fan pulls air out of the case. This lowers air pressure and helps more dust get in your case.

Stormhunt1 · Apr 29, 2014

Thing is my case has these holes on top if that makes a difference

i7Baby · Apr 29, 2014

All cases have holes at the top. But you need at least one fan to blow air in from the front and/or bottom and a fan to blow air out at the top/rear

Stormhunt1 · Apr 30, 2014

i7Baby :

Were would you recommed putting the fan?

i7Baby · Apr 30, 2014

I'd recommend at least 2 fans, not just 1. If you only had 2 fans, then I'd recommend 1 at the front and one at the rear.

Stormhunt1 · Apr 30, 2014

Wait So i just put one under the switch off button and where can I place the other one?

i7Baby · Apr 30, 2014

provide a link to your case

Stormhunt1 · Apr 30, 2014

here you go =) : http://www.thermaltake.com.au/products-model.aspx?id=c_00001615

i7Baby · Apr 30, 2014

So fit 1 fan to the rear blowing out and 1 fan to thew front blowing in - like the diagram.

Also note: Included power supplies are crappy.

Stormhunt1 · Apr 30, 2014

Yea Im buying a new one for the gtx =)

Stormhunt1 · Apr 30, 2014

When i get the parts should i install the Os first or should i install the parts then the os

i7Baby · May 23, 2014

Haven't you already got an OS? And aren't you just installing a graphics card?

OS first, then graphics card
