This are the specs for the motherboard,I hope it is good,I think it is >< ( http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/Acer/Acer_Predator_G3620/1410 )
I was hoping to get a Geforce GTX 680 ($390~)
According to this website, navigating from Nvidia>600 series>Geforce GTX 680
(http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/Acer/Acer_Predator_G3620/1410/Compatible_GPUs)
The Geforce GTX 680 will fit with my motherboard,is that true?Will a Geforce GTX 680 really fit into my motherboard?
I'm not really knowledgeable in this area.Please Help!
On another note I am upgrading from a GT 640 which cannot handle far cry 4 that well on all low settings to a GTX 680,that can run far cry 4 at least on all medium settings right?

1st off, om pretty sure they haven't updated that compatibility site, etc. some Nvidia 700-series cards are pretty identical to the 600-series, etc. the GTX770 actually being pretty much a GTX680 with higher clock speeds. There's alternatives that will be both cheaper and faster than the GTX680, your motherboard is using PCI-E 2.x according to the site you linked, any PCI-E 2.something is enough to run any new graphics card. THOUGH beware of the power consumption!!! Your pc is most likely made to handle that little GT640 card, and that only, so you might want to look at power consumption too and look at how much wattage your power supply can handle.

A cheap upgrade solution would be the GTX750ti, very power efficient (don't have to...

A cheap upgrade solution would be the GTX750ti, very power efficient (don't have to worry about the power supply), very cheap, and will run newer games on medium settings. maybe some low settings in some games if you want a solid fps.

The GTX970 is also one to consider at ~$330, will run anything on ultra, it too is very power efficient, though i still think it might be too much for the power supply.

no matter what, don't buy a GTX680 at the price of $390, check the power supply for any labels, should be a sticker that says atleast 450w for the GTX970 to run safely, might be a power supply in a wierd form factor, which means upgrading it will be difficult.

Hope this helped!
