Hi Guys!

I'm planning to buy GTX650 ti 1GB 128-bit from a computer store. My motherboard is this:

My current video card is no longer working and out of warranty. I'm using a back up video card which is not suitable for gaming.

Now, the video card I'd like to purchase is DDR5 and supports PCI-E 3.0 x 16 but I guess the PCI-E of my motherboard is DDR3 and it's 2.0 something. I'm not sure though. You can verify it on the link provided above since I'm not a techie.

Will there be a compatiblity issue?

Here's a link for the video card:

If the card is not recommended for my motherboard, I will appreciate it if you can recommend a video card that I can use for this game:

Your m/b will support that card no problem. PCIe is backwards compatible (except on some early chipsets). The DDR5 memory is on the gpu and is "invisible" to your m/b.

If you can afford a little bit more $, get a 650ti boost or a 660. Much better card for gaming at not much more $.
