I have Msi MS 7366 motherboard and a Nvidia GT 220, Q8300 2,5 Ghz, 4 Gb of DDR2 Ram...I want to upgrade my Gpu...I dont know can my motherboard support newer graphics cards like; GTX 560, GT 730. GTX 460 or like GTX 550 Ti

Here is a list of compatible GPUs. Can't vouch for the accuracy. It has the GTX 1070 listed but not the 1050. I can only assume that is because the 1050 doesn't use external power, but draws power from the PCIe socket. If the socket doesn't provide enough power, than you have to use external power connectors from your PSU. If your PSU has an external power connector, than you are golden. Otherwise, be sure to fine one on this list that doesn't require external power. http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/MSI/MS-7366/3528/Compatible_GPUs

That's quite an old system at this point..... so it wouldn't be overly surprising if you did run into issues.

BUT, I don't see any reason that the board shouldn't support up for 700 series GPUs. It is limited to a Gen1 x16 slot, but that shouldn't stop a card from working.

Make sure your PSU is up to the task of powering a newer/more power hungry GPU.
The GT220 was like a 50W TDP card IIRC, something like a 550TI is 110W and a GTX 460 is 150W.
