Hi, guys.
Lately, I've been thinking about buying a new graphic card for my PC and I have a few questions that I hope you can answer.
My MOBO has a PCI-e 2.0 port and I'm planning on buying a PCI-e 3.0 card (Nvidia Geforce GTX 750ti 2Gb DDR5). The question is: Is PCI-e 3.0 backward compatible with 2.0?
Another thing is, I have a AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor, Is it worth it to buy that GPU? Or I won't get the most out of it and I should go for something lower? A 1Gb GPU, for example.
Finally, my PC is running on a 500w power source and I know I'll have to get a bigger one. Any suggestions on what should I aim for?
I hope I left everything clear, and I'm sorry if there's any spelling mistake (english is not my mother tongue).
Thanks in advance.
