Hi,
I have above mentioned CPU with P7H55 motherboard & I wonder how this CPU will perform today in games. Mostly Warframe and maybe sometimes Killing Floor 2 games will be played on that PC. I want it for my girlfriend. We mostly play those 2 games. I also want to know which GPU will be best for such computer. I'm thinking about GTX 970. Will it be good choice? And one more thing: I will buy SSD first of all for sure for this computer and I wonder if motherboard will limit SSD and if yes how much?
 
Solution
you asked about a gpu. a 970 is overkill and surely to bottleneck. your lowly i3-550 is down in core2duo performance territory. a gtx1050 non ti should be good.
