Will the Raedon7850 be compatible with my old Motherboard (G31M3-L V2 / G31M3-LS V2)

I am looking to upgrade my current graphics card to support three monitors.

Will the Raedon 7850 be compatible with my older motherboard?

Current Motherboard

PSU
1 x Thermaltake Litepower 700WTT Power Supply (TTW0356)

Any further questions please let me know.

Kind regards
Cher

Yes but I think your CPU might bottleneck considering it is LGA775

Forget the CPU bottlenecking it, the fact that it's an old PCI-Express v1.x will bottleneck it more than any CPU ever could.

Is it fluffly/big deal to upgrade the CPU and if no any suggestions?

Well what is your current CPU? You will most likely need a new motherboard if you want to upgrade enough to run a 7850.

Its' below, and I will for sure upgrade my motherboard before upgrading to the graphics card. Much appreciated for the quick responses, makes this process a lot easier and quicker
