Hi everyone, my friend wants to buy a new GPU but his build is too old, he has the money to buy a Nvidia GTX 960 2gb, but i'm afraid about the bottleneck, i think a 750 ti is better for his build.

His build:

Mother: ASUS P8H61-M LX
CPU: Intel i3-2120 3.30GHz
RAM: 4gb 1333 MHz ddr3
PSU: Bancho 450WM <- That's the model. -> Picture http://imageshack.com/a/img633/4426/3wo8JH.jpg

Well, that's it, i hope positive answers

Yes that board can support that r7 360. Even if a GPU is PCI-E 3.0 its backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0

I think that psu is wrong I can't even find it on google or newegg/pcpartspicker. Please confirm that PSU. That is the one thing you never go cheap on. Also that i3 2120 will NOT bottleneck the 960 gtx. Also a good idea woulld be to upgrade the ram to 8gb IF your friend can afford it then upgrade to 64bit windows 7/10.

Well.... i think i will choose EVGA 600B 80 Plus Bronze and a Sapphire r7 360 OC 2 gb, it's the max that he can pay, i need to know now if the Motherboard supports that GPU
