So i got a very good offer on a GTX 690, about 120 euros for one, and seriously thinking about getting it, but my pc is pretty bad at the moment..

intel core i5 650 3.2ghz
sapphire radeon 5670hd
6gb of ddr3 ram
xilence performance 730W psu
1tb hdd
asrock h55m-LE motherboard

and that's it, would upgrade to a newer i7 4790k in a few months, my questions are, would my motherboard support the gtx 690? would i be able to use the full 4gbs of vram of it?

so yeah, i would just like to know what is compatible and what's not, thanks a lot!

Why wouldn't it be? You might need to install the newest BIOs, but it should work just fine.
Just remember that thing take a ton of energy to run, so it won't be cheap in the long run.

I don't really need cutting edge performance, just want to be sure i can run most games at medium-high quality and don't have to pay a lot for my parts, that's everyones dream isn't it?

Still looking for someone to answer if this will be compatible with my processor and motherboard!
