So, I wanna buy GTX 1050 2GB, but I wanna be sure that my Motherboard can handle it....
Can you guys help me please? I`m not much of a tech geek.
OH YEAH, I wanna buy MSI graphics card tho. I think that makes difference..

Here`s the setup :

CPU Intel Core i3-4170 3.70GHz
Motherboard ASUS H81M-R
RAM 8GB
Windows 10
What else?

So yeah I really need help, there`s kinda nobody in my country that`s smart about computers...

Yes, you're good. PCIe is a backward compatible interface. Plus, the GTX 1050 will never saturate the 16 lane buss even at 2.0.

Hello, here I am again...
I just wanted to say that my motherboard actually has PCIe x16 2.0!
Does that matter? GTX 1050 is 3.0, and my motherboard has x16 2.0
But I think it will be okay right?
