Hello All,
I am in desperate need of a GPU upgrade as I now have a 4k tv (and spare time to start gaming again).
I'm not sure which newer card my old rig can handle or if I could even fit a new GPU onto my old mother board (I understand newer GPUs have more pins to connect to PSU).
With GPU prices being sky high, the last thing I want to do is damage one by trying to install it in a non compatable rig.
Could anyone please advise what newer card would work with my ancient set up or if i would need to replace anything in order to accommodate a modern GPU? (I'm pretty sure I might need a more powerful PSU as I'm guessing new GPUs will use more juice, but I don't know for sure if this is accurate)
My build is below (and advice would be greatly appriciated)
1TB WD SATA HDD
Intel i7-3770 CPU
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D2V (rev. 1.0), 0.2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM, Motherboard
Palit GeForce GTX 760
FSP 500w Matx PSU
16GB DDR3 1600 Spectek RAM
Sorry for wall of text and thank you in advance to anyone that takes time out to share their wisdom!
