Hi Donny,

If you want to know for sure about compatibility, use PCPartPicker. It is a great site that points out any compatibility issues and how to fix it. It also finds the cheapest price for every part and gives you the link/site where you can find it. Hope this helps and answers your question.

First, you didn't need to quote all those things about processor, model would be quite enough, none of it is applicable to your question.
Yes, you can pair any GPU with it but you will probably have to disable built in GPU in BIOS. Another thing to worry about is your PSU as it may not have enough power.

Hi CountMike Thanks for replying . So you mean there will be no improvements even when I installed the GT 710 graphics card.


 
To be honest, not much if any, if you could make it to GT 750, that would be something. The way Nvidia marks their cards are:
First numeral is for generation, second is for performance so x10 would be just basic performance wise, enough for office and multimedia use and so forth. x50 would be first one in those series meant for gaming.
