Hello,
I was recently gifted this desktop, which I plan to improve to the best of my ability, but I'm afraid that the motherboard will give me problems along the way.
I just had a few questions that I couldn't find any answers for.
1) Are there any limitations to what GPU I can attach to my motherboard, aside from the connections?
The motherboard in question is the "MSI MS-7788 H61M-P31"(http://www.mediaforte.com.my/detail.php?category=Motherboard&prod_id=20121023102521_12)
The GPU I wanted to put in it is the "GeForce GTX 650 Ti"
Now, the connections and all seem to fit, but what worries me is that my current GPU has 2Gb DDR3 but the GTX 650 Ti comes with 1Gb DDR5. Could that cause any issues?
2) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=19-116-501&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo is the CPU I planned to purchase. I just wanted to ask, in case I made any stupid mistakes when picking it, but as far as I know, the socket matches.
3) http://www.ebuyer.com/342351-crucial-8gb-ddr3-1333mhz-ballistix-sport-memory-bls2cp4g3d1339ds1s00ceu is the RAM I planned to purchase. Would there be any problems with that?
4) The current PSU only gives out 350W, should that be replaced as well?
(http://www.itbankeurope.com/FSP350-50GMN_/ is the current one)
I'm still very new to this, so I apologize if any of these questions are overly stupid, but I would appreciate any help.
