Hello, I am looking to upgrade my PC ( Gateway DX4840 with no GPU) and I would like to go with this specific GTX 960 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487154 ).
My motherboard ( http://www.memory4less.com/m4l_itemdetail.aspx?itemid=1465469069&partno=H57H-AM2&rid=90&origin=pla&gclid=CjwKEAiA3_axBRD5qKDc__XdqQ0SJAC6lecAXlCa1_wSbTe6LaNn4e0PrjDZI2rqKtSB-1MR38UTghoCmqjw_wcB )doesn't have that many PCI Slots (most of which are kind of outdated), and I was wondering if I could install that specific GPU.
Thanks to all.

That board has a PCIe X16 slot. That is the only slot the gfx card will work or fit in. Yes it will fit, but you need a high end 450W PSU or greater. Also, it may not be a bad idea to update the board's BIOS to the latest version available. If that is something you don't feel like tackling, try the card first. Chances are you won't need to update the BIOS, but sometimes older boards have a problem interfacing with newer gfx cards.
