Hey guys. I'll buy Gigabyte's GTX 950 graphic card, but I'm not sure it will work on my computer.

I have as Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-h61m-ds2
And as CPU: Intel Core i3 3320
I have a 500W power supply.
8 gb of ram, but I bet the ram won't make anything change about compatibility.

My actual video card is an ASUS GT 610 1gb.

Basically I want to know if that card will work on my motherboard.
As secondary, I want to know if my CPU will generate some bottleneck.

Your motherboardhas one PCIE 3 x 16 ss a GTX 950 should work. If you are planning on buying new, how about looking at a gtx 1050? They seem to be around the same price if you can find an available 950, plus the 1050 will have slightly better performance.

As for bottleneck, I would say your CPU is going to bottleneck pretty badly on new AAA titles at higher settings. 8GB of RAM should be enough for most games, so that shouldn't be an issue.

The problem about picking 1050 is about my monitors, they throw vga connections and I dont have budget for buying some VGA-HDMI adapter or some DVI-I to DVI-D adapters.

So 950 has 1 DVI-I input and at least I can get one monitor working whille I get some adapters.
