Hi to all, I'm thinking in upgrade mi Graphic Card and I really dont know what its the limit that my computer can resist, so i made this thread because when I was searching for a good GPU I accidentaly enter here and really liked your answers, so I think you can help me. (Sorry for mistakes, not native english).
THE COMPUTER:
Motherboard: GA - H61M-S1
http://uy.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4127#ov
Processor: Inter Core i5 3330 (3.0 GHz)
http://ark.intel.com/es/products/65509/Intel-Core-i5-3330-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz
Memory: 8gb ddr3 - Dual channel (¿that mean it's 2 x 4gb?)
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 2500 (That bottleneck pls)
PSU: 500 W
To the point, my questions are:
1-¿ How I know the best graphic card I can put in it so I can have a upper budget limit when shopping?
2-¿ My computer will support a GTX 960 4gb gddr5?
3-¿ Its the GTX 960 a good inversion compared to the other components I have?
3-¿ If 2 is affirmative, the GTX 970 worth the almost 40% more price?
4-¿ If I fit a GTX970, it will overkill the pc? (I mean that the rest of the components will bottleneck the GPU, and i will not take advantage of it).
Really thanks for your time and please dont recommend me AMD, I dont want to buy a new PSU.
