Game_5abi · Sep 5, 2014

i am buying a new gaming rig and i have decided the graphic card to be
Asus AMD/ATI R7 260X Direct CUII 2GB DDR5 Graphics Card
i want to buy a motherboard that can handle this graphic card
my current motherboard is Gigabyte G31M-ES2C
is this mother board ok?
is this wont work my 1 st preference would be Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 Motherboard
and my budget for motherboard is $50
i am also planning to buy fx4300 and croasair 4 gb ram
please also see if motherboard is compatible with the processor.
my current psu is 450W.
thank you in advance

Your old motherboard will be compatible with the GPU.

Anyways you can tell us your current rig and your budget for upgrades and we'll provide you with the best options available.

Are you sure it will handle that gpu
PLease check again
and will the processor and ram work with my gpu

Your current motherboard will support the gpu no problems ! You need an AM3+ socket in order for the fx 4300 to work.

You mobo is intel 775 based, it has a pcie x16 slot so yes the video card will work.

you cannot use amd cpu's, it also uses ddr2 ram and is limited to 4gb total.

Its time for a complete upgrade sadly.

State you complete budget. And i'm sure somebody can help you get max performance from it.

the motherboard is too expensive. video card is not that good for gaming. i dont need power supplyi am already having 450 W. sorry but this is not what i want

Game_5abi :

Huh ?! The Graphics card included is better than the 260x , Generic PSUs are crappy . This motherboard is quality motherboard and the whole setup is just better than your outdated setup , the CPU when overclocked is very powerful.

benchmarks :

Clearly the 265 is superior to the 260x

CPU is as good as an i3 when overclocked
