Is my mainboard and psu compatible with GTX 760?

Hi,

I built my PC 3 years ago, and now i want to upgrade my gpu. I've been using an Asus GTX 750ti OC and it runs perfectly, but i would love to try another one. I'm having gtx 760 in mind, so i wonder if this gpu could "fit in" with the current sys.

Btw, here is my specs:
Main B75M-HD3
I3-3220 3.2 ghz
RAM avexir 8gb
PSU Huntkey LW 6500HG 500W

Thanks in advance!

Technically any PCI-E 2.0/3.0 GPU will fit on that MB without any issue, so same goes for GTX 760, but that not the real question. The real question will be the PSU, and that's not a good PSU you have currently(technically and component wise), and 500W will be bare minimum for the system with a GTX 760 inside, when in action the card itself can pull 250W approx., so a branded 550/600/650W will be better. I would like the suggest don't take risk with that PSU. XFX, Seasonic will be a better choice. Good luck.

Appreciate it! Ever since i began to use that psu i knew it would be the first thing to be replaced in this whole set. It emits noises like hell whenever i start a game.

So, replace it ASAP or you will be risking your system. Another thing, why are you going downhill, GTX 760 is a good card no doubt about it, but its a DX11 card, whereas GTX 750ti is a DX12 card. If you are to upgrade then go with GTX 960 (almost same price and performance) as GTX760, if you have the budget go with GTX 970 definitely a better choice. Good luck.
