It's more limited to the power of your PSU and your budget than your MB, as pretty much all GPUs for some time have supported that Pci-Ex standard. You also need to make sure the GPU you buy will physically fit in your case, mostly front to back. Some of the longer GPUs can conflict with HDD storage bays on some cases.

Here's a handy chart on GPU power requirements. Keep in mind these are total system power requirements, and conservatively stated on wattage to account for varying quality of PSUs. You mostly want to pay attention to the amperage.

Hello it is me again! I need another update.
I need your expertise to guide me through this. So here is a list of what I am currently using and have not got round to upgrading it due to family issues and I would very very pleased if you could answer as you made such a good job last time of doing so.
So here is a list of what I am currently using.
BitFenix Shadow ATX Gaming Case BLACK
600w ATX 12cm PSU Silent Fan
ASRock 1150 Motherboard (CPU Celeron to i7)
Intel Pentium 2.8Ghz Dcore CPU
2GB DDR3 Elite Black Heatsink (Motherboard Max 16Gb)
2GB Nvidia GeForce GT710 Graphics Card
500Gb Hard Drive
LG 24x DVD-RW
HKC 19.5” Widescreen Monitor
Windows 10 : Office : Antivirus

I know it is crap but I would like to upgrade it to a better but still bad computer.
( the guy that made it for me before overcharged me, charging me £400, and that is why I have come to you as I feel you can make my day).


So I want to upgrade my Ram and GPU first and I was wandering where I can find the best prices as I am still on a budget and I was wandering whether a gtx 1050ti and 8gb of ram would be a start and upgrading the cpu later.

Since I have bought a good keyboard and mouse which I think is more of a necessity, I only have £149 of so left to spare. Was wandering whether I could get a gtx 750ti and 8gb of ddr3
ram for that price and would if be compatible with the cpu I currently have. Also Will be getting further £400 later and would it be worth upgrading the gpu and cpu and keeping the ram. aswell say I did get the 8gb of ddr3 ram, would that be compatible with further upgrades on cpu and gpu, like i5 8600k and gtx 1060/1050ti.

My last request is that could you tell me whether all I need to do is slot the stuff in the slots where they are suppose to go aswell as could you leave me links to the best websites for the products and videos relating to this topic. But I would prefer your answer as I find it more valuable and promising.

 
Wow, that is such entirely old and weak spec I would advise waiting until you can replace MB, CPU, RAM, and GPU all at once. Reason being it's barely enough to run W10, let alone games. Replacing RAM, which is necessary, would be unwise until you can replace MB, because the new RAM standard has been DDR4 for some time now.

Even if you just replace the GPU, it will not perform anywhere near it's potential due to being severely bottlenecked by the CPU and RAM.

Another reason to wait is you will get better deals on everything, whereas if you replace just GPU now, by the time you can afford the rest, the price you paid for it would probably be enough to get a better one.

Sorry to break it to you, because I know you're probably anxious to get better performance, but that is the reality of the situation. I'm surprised that rig even has a 600w PSU, because it's way overkill for such spec. What brand and model is it though?
