Hey guys , is a bit complicated but i will try to explain my .. " fury " .
So , i want to buy this gp , gtx 1060 3gb with 192 bit , but the problem is that i'm actually having a bad motherboard and by that i'm meaning the GA H81-M S , witch haves pcie 2.0 , and the gp requires 3.0 ..
I have an i3 4th generation with 3.5ghz non-clocked .
? How much will the i3 and the 2.0pci e slot bottlneck the gtx 1060 ? ( Gtx 1060 3gb 192 bit

2nd Problem . I will want in 2 months after buying the graphic card , to buy an fx 9k series or higher and a motherboard that will sustain it all .
Can you please recommand me a good motherboard under 200 euros ?

To have : pcie 3.0 , ddr3 ram slots .

Please...help , i can't anymore =))

Why would you but an FX 9 series? As pointed out above, get an Intel core-i7 4790 which gives you better performance in gaming and general tasks with half the power draw.

I would even get a Core i5 4690 over an FX 9 series even the "big" ones like FX 9370 or FX 9590.

The FX series were not really efficient, however, the FX 8 series like FX 8350 make kind of more sense in terms of value as they are cheaper and draw less power which means less heat.

Again I would go for the Intel and since you have the motherboard for it you can spend the budget for an AMD MOBO+CPU on a better Intel. You don't need a K series Intel as your motherboard is a H chipset and there's no real overclocking involved.

PCIe 3.0 can transfer twice the data of 2.0 so in theory it's faster. However, you don't need all this data to run a graphics card, as long as you're using the full x16 slot, then it's more than enough to run any modern card....there will be no bottleneck.

nope, your cpu would be the bottleneck


" fx 9k series or higher and a motherboard"

this is a serious downgrade, get an i5 or i7 that is compatible with your current motherboard

the i5 4690, i5 4590, i7 4770, and i7 4790 are compatible with it


and utterly ruin the old obsolete fx processors

If you will buy a new motherboard and CPU, it will be for DDR4 system ram(Ryzen or Intel). If you do not want to spend that much, stick with the motherboard and DDR3 ram you have now and replace your i3. Put something like a Core i5-4690 in there(same clock speed as your i3 but quad core) or an i7.

Your i3 can use the 1060 3gb. The only thing is since it's dual core, that i3 won't perform as well in games which really require quad core CPUs or better.
