I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard so that I can upgrade my CPU and GPU.

I currently have:

Acer F690GVM - Motherboard
AMD Phenom X4 9500 - CPU
Nvidia Geforce 8400 - GPU
Corsair CS650M - PSU (I've just upgraded from a factory 250w)
4GB Corsair DDR3

I'm on a reaaaaaaly tight budget and the computer will mostly be used for light gaming.

I've been looking around and have come across a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P motherboard but would like to know if it's compatible with a ATI RADEON HD 5670 graphics card.

Would that card be compatible with my current motherboard? I've been told that I need to upgrade my mobo before I can actually upgrade my gpu and cpu...
