Getting a new Graphics card (Need help!) - AnimeCrazy.net Forums

TakenForce · 10-26-2011

Salutations AC Techies!, I'm planning on buying a Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti
GeForce GTX 560 Ti

-and i am wondering if it will work on my motherboard : Intel i5-650
Intel® Core

According to what i see, it said it will take up 2 x16 slots but it seems that this processor only has 1 x16 and 2 x8 for the PCI config.. Will i still be able to use this card?

Thanks in advance

i think they mean that it will take the space for 2 slots

what you linked is not the MB. so i cant tell if it'll work on it xD

Yeah I think they mean it's a card that's so big it'll cover the second port if there is one.

I doubt it'd need two ports :3

Nice processor

make sure you got sufficient PSU otherwise .... not going to work :s

I'd say wait, the new HD Radeon 7xxx series are about to be released soon, same with Nvidia GTX 6xx series.

I didn't A LOT of research and tinkering :3 Apparently my PSU is only 350W and i'm planning on buying a 550-650W one. I asked around and they also recommended me to buy a cooling supply. Is it really NEEDED? I already have a basic fan ( Heat sinker) on my Processor. If it is necessary,
Does anyone see any problems in mounting the following:

Intel® Core Currently using intel i5 650
and want to use this liquid cooler

no need for liquid cooler, just make sure you have nice airflow and your cables are organized and you'll be fine

for PSU I would recommend 140mm quiet fan with good rating

Thanks for your help

i really appreciate it. First time I'm doing any upgrading on my PC. I might as well just build my own next time.... the parts the manufacturing company supplies you are VERY outdated and cheap >.< Alien-ware cost a fortune to buy too.

i would think about getting more power for your PSU.
investing in the futur
