Hi,
I am planning to buy Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 along with Corsair VS550 Watt PSU. I want to know if there is any compatibility issues with this GPU and my Motherboard.
My Current config:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 (3.2ghz).
Corsair VS2GB1333D3 RAM(2gb*2)
M4A88TM Motherboard
And normal PSU of 230(Will upgrade PSU)

do not buy VS or CX corsair units, they have bad capacitors and tend to die early.


If you have a favorite place to shop, post the link and people can help you get the best unit for your needs.

Also make sure you update the motherboard bios to the newest version beforehand.

That's fine will look for Cooler Master also. What about the motherboard compatibility issues. Any know issues regarding compatibility of components I listed above? Any known issues with the GPU?

this will help, cooler master with the exception of a couple of models is even more of a stay away.

Their V series is good though.
