How do I know what video card is my motherboard capable of?

How do I know What GFX card or video card can be used with my cpu/motherboard?

  • Answer:

    The CPU doesn't matter, in terms of compatibility. The motherboard does, but this one has a PCIe slot, which is all you need for a modern video card. Your problem will be the power supply. Did you get the slim tower or the mini tower? If you got the slim, you're a little out of luck. Your power supply supplies only 250 Watt, not enough for a discrete video card. If you got the mini tower, you'll have 300 Watts. In that case, get a Radeon HD 7750. It's small, so it'll still fit inside your case. And it is extremely power efficient, so you don't have to worry about exceeding 300 W (it won't really get anywhere near that). Of course, you can still buy a new power supply. But you'll need to install it. It's not hard, but not terribly simple either, and easy to screw up if you don't know what you're doing. Hope this helps.
