Will my Phenom II X2 BE Unlocked work with GTX 960

Oliver_16 · Feb 3, 2016

I have a MSI 870 G45 mobo. I also have a GTX 460 768mb gpu at the moment and looking to upgrade to a gtx 960.

Hi - Yes, will work. Has more to do with your mobo having an x16 slot (it does - two), than the CPU.
However, Phenom II x2 is quite weak for gaming and could bottleneck the 960.

What power supply would work with the graphics card?
Currently I have a Basiq 500w model BP500U

Hi - which gtx 960 are you purchasing? reference 960's require 1 6 pin pcie connector, your PSU has one.

But many gtx 960's require 2 pcie connectors, so need to check the brand/model of the 960.

What about this psu?

This is the one I might get.

And what about this gtx 750ti?

It's cheaper than the gtx 960 I listed. So I'm looking at that one too.

Hi - No, that PSU has one 6pin pcie like your bp500u, you need one 8pin(6+2) at a minimum.

Will work with your current PSU
