100% Compatible GPU cards to upgrade Acer Predator G3610

[bazangwanzi]

Hi folks,

So I have been using Acer Predator G3610 for more than 5 years. Thinking of upgrading GPU from my current Nvidia Geforce GT 440 to either GTX 950, 960, or 1050.

Seen quite a number of people saying online that they met with some problems doing that. So I just like to be 100% sure it will work, before going ahead to purchase the right card.

From what I gathered, there seems to be the following points to consider:
(1) Power requirements, and 6-pin connector availability?
->Not sure yet, haven't open up my chasis before.
(2) Form factor
->Guess different manufacturer and different type (single/dual fans) etc. will result in different sizes, which may/may not fit for my system.
(3) Some Win 8 secure boot issue
->I'm running Win 7, so not sure if this still applies to me.

Will really be great if someone could tell me for sure if GTX 950, 960, or 1050 will fit in well with my system. Or any similar cards that you have done it successfully.

My current system specs:
Acer Predator G3610
Intel Core i5-2500 CPU @ 3.30GHz(4 CPUs)
4GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce GT 440
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ATX Form Factor

Usually pre-built system are having trouble with the motherboard, being oem there is a chance that wont support the videocard. There is only trial and error.
For this system no one can tell you 100% that will work, e-mail acer, ask them, they know exactly what you have inside.
