Hey there, I got an old computer off a family friend and was wondering if my Gainward GTX 460 Golden Sample 2gb would be compatible with it? It's a Pci 2.0 motherboard apparently, but I'm not too sure. Thanks.
Also, what PSU would you recommend I get for this GPU if my motherboard is compatible as my current PSU doesn't have anything to power my GPU with. The GPU is only connected to the motherboard as no cables from the PSU fit.

Thanks a lot

*update* It appears I have a Thermal Master PSU. It's only 350Watts and is ATX12V.

Will those PSUs work with my GPU? Like, will the cables fit into the PSU as it needs to be connected to the PSU as well.

Thanks a bunch :D One other thing..... I removed the Heat sink from my CPU to clean the heatsink as it was full of dust, what thermal paste should I use to reapply it and how to I clean the old dried out thermal paste off the cpu?

Is 500Watts enough? Also, does that PSU come with the cables and everything needed?

There's 1 other set of numbers just saying 001 which is on the bottom of the CPU. Apart from 2328 and 001 that's the only numbers?

You'd need to remove the thermal paste to reveal the chip name. Then something like this will be seen:
