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.

Thanks, Do you know of any cheaper PSUs?
Would this work with my GPU? http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=1377139

That's a very poor quality PSU, I'd get this instead, better quality:

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

It couldn't have been a Pentium G3258 in first place, the MoBo is LGA1155 and that pentium is LGA1150, the CPU you currently have is 2nd gen i3, and the MoBo doesn't support 4th gen Pentiums.Hey, does my mobo support and 4th gen CPUs? I also bought that ANTEC VP500PC. Arrives soon! Thanks for the help btw
