I have got a ASUS P8H67-M LE Motherboard (its 3 years old) which only supports pci 2.0 x16 and x4 (im a newbie at specs) And i have got 500w power supply in pc case.Motherboard has LGA1155 Sockets for intel 2nd generation core i7/i5/i3 btw..I have an Intel Core i5 2500K (3,30ghzx4) processor too.I can get a better PSU too.(if needed).And i have a VGA or DVI monitor Philips 192E (i think that is a dvi monitor) so i need to have VGA out or DVI out on GFX card.Thanks for reading.(sorry for my english.)I just need a gfx card that can run bf4 on High with 60 fps or 70 fps. (Maybe GTA V pc 60 fps on low) Anyway thanks for reading.

Minimum recommended for the entire system consumption. Actual consumption of the system is another thing entirely.

A complete list of parts and the power supply model would be necessary to make such a judgment.

You don't often see an i5-2500K in retail PCs, so I am making an assumption that this person is replacing a video card. Chances are pretty good the GTX970 uses less power then the previous card. Dual 6-pin is not a huge requirement.

ok, here's something cool, all PCi 3.0 cards are backwards compatible with 2.0 bus slots. so you can nab yourself a GTX 600 or 700 series if you like.

Your issues: you will need to get a larger PSU, 500w wont be enough for most of the GTX 600 series and its a little more for the 700 series. and especially if you are going to be upgrading your CPU as well, which it seems will be required if you want to play GTA V when that comes out. But that is not curtain due to Rockstar not yet releasing the system requirements for PC as of yet.

i5-2500K is still a top end chip, no need for replacement.

500W is enough for any of the cards you listed as along as the supply is of decent quality.

Recommendation would be based on budget, which wasn't provided.

Best card is practically any of the top end cards. GTX970 would be today's recommendation. Best cost/performance ration available practically, and is fairly low power.

true, 500w will do the job, but 500w is the 970 minimum. Running on minimum to get by power is not something i like suggesting or implementing.
