Hy,

I am going to upgrade my pc with a MSI 960 GTX graphics card as my old one just ain't cutting it anymore. However, I am not sure what I have to replace in my current pc to support the new graphics card. The goal of this upgrade is to play games like the witcher 3 and GTA5 in medium-high quality. My full specs:

- Model: Hp pavillion P6-2417eb
- Processor: Intel i7-3770 (3.4GHz)
- Ram: 8GB
- graphics card (is getting replaced) : AMD Radeon HD 8570 (max power supply: 50W)
- PSU: 300W
- OS: windows 8.1, I'm upgrading to windows 10 because of directx12
- Moederbord: Joshua-H61-uATX (Joshua)

The GTX 960 has a power usage of about 120 Watts, so I think I have to replace that one. I'd like to hear what else I have to replace or consider replacing.

Thanks in advance, Zeno

So the motherboard isn't a problem? It will fit inside the motherboard?
