Starcraftboy12 · Jun 3, 2016

I have a MS-7641 VER:3.0 motherboard and i want to get a new graphics card but i don't know what type will fit and what is the best? I once bought a graphics card but it was way too big and wont fit, now i dont know what to buy that will fit and work.

Which processor, case, and power supply do you have?

Epicness937 · Jun 3, 2016

what is the exact motherboard and the pc case the motherboard name you gave us what the bios i think
also what cpu and psu do you have?

popatim · Jun 3, 2016

MS-7641 VER:3.0

This is the exact motherbd. MSI uses a name and also a number if you've never had their stuff before.

oh gosh i had the p34 version....
yes a new gpu will work but the fastest cpu for that motherboard would be a fx 8300

gtx 960 for sure you can(EDIT CANT OVERCLOCK) overclock on that board so a 970 390 480 or 1070 is kind of a waste

How am i going to fit the GTX 1070 into my computer's PCI, when it's not flipped back wards? Because my PCI is flipped the other way so i dont think it will fit.

Photos?

your pci express is normal on that board,you can essentially use any gpu you like.
the limits are just your case model & psu model which you havent given us any information on.

as said really going past a gtx 960 or r9 380 would be pointless with a 6300 at stock speeds.

Epicness937 · Jun 10, 2016

madmatt30 :

960 is the best at stock or a 970 can be good if you will overclock to 4.1ghz turbo

jerdle · Jun 10, 2016

The R9 380 is cheaper and outperforms the gtx 960, so ill assume you meant to keep saying 380 there epicness

Epicness937 · Jun 10, 2016

jerdle :

oh were i am as of 2 days ago the 380 was 25$ more so for that its not worth it but if its cheaper yes do that

Ok sure, so which PSU would you recommend? for around $200-$300? And im still worry about the size of the graphics card, if it will fit the small PCI slot part is flipped around so if i try to put a card in the output stuff will be flipped inside not out side. i have only one PCI slot and the one above it i think is a video card that connects to my monitor screen.

Epicness937 · Jun 25, 2016

200-300$ on a psu you dont need to spend that much
