Hey guys, i have an AMD FX 8120, 3.1 ghz with an Asus 7670 hd video card. I would like to upgrade my video card to a Radeon R9 270X. Question is will my computer handle it ? it says PCI-3 and i'm not sure i've got that. So how would i check ?

It will be fine they are all backwards compatible you can plug in 3rd generation pci-e into 1st generation and it will work.

Your mobo should have 1 x pcie 3.0 x 16 slot

an 8120 should be fine with the 270x or gtx 760 or even better say gtx 770 or r9 280x
