Put the graphics card in the long yellow slot with the clip on it and you will be good to go. There is a small bottleneck, though not much.

con's, there aren't any from a compatibility perspective, only small bottleneck.

pro's, depending on your last card (IGP/GPU), a huge performance increase

Your PSU is capable of supporting that card.



okay i get it. tnx

Your cpu may bottleneck before your ram I believe. Obviously better ram will help too but just focus on getting the best card you can afford. I like to use guru3d when narrowing down which card to buy.

I review the 750ti and 660ti also the 760/r9 270X toxic/vapor(upgrading to 600 watts Power Supply Unit)It occur I rather buy higher video cards. Its very confusing which one to buy. Is that really important the bit rate of the Gpu? and Is there any application that can distinguish the total amount of energy consumption of the whole system unit including the peripherals etc.??? when i review things. -sigh!Lastly How should I determine my RAM won't bottleneck? feeling Annoying right now.
Thanks again.

You only need 300 or 400W psu and do not need a power connector for most models but the FTW. I like the EVGA GTX 750 Ti 2GB. EVGA support is the best. That speaks volumes about the quality of their products. Next I would consider MSI and ASUS. Those would be my top 3. The rest are good but I have much less experience with ie Zotac, PNY, Galaxy etc.

Sir Good Day! Thank you for the advices I'm trying several upgrades one of the reason why I can't upgrade because of cheap budget. As I know based on my own (Intel) understanding there's not much problem in bottleneck.. So I can buy now a 750ti and PSU maybe a 600watts will fit in any case of upgrading?? Btw, Difference in modular, semi-modular, full sleeves, fully modular PSU? How'd I distinguish each in every one of it? Godly speed!

P.S. What brand of gtx 750ti is great with or without 6pins?(Overall Top Rated) Could you please give me 4 brands do you have in mind?? sorry for bad english in a russsssh.

Yes you can run the EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW. There will be some bottleneck due to your cpu/mobo combo but this card isn't so powerful that it will be held back by too much. Pci-e 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 (which is what your board has) if you were concerned about that. The lanes using slightly smalller band width is not significant enough in itself to slow down the gpu's effectiveness. If you upgrade your cpu as well you will also see your next step up in performance gains but the 750 ti will give you the next best jump for now.
