Asrock FM2A68M-HD+ support

[PJzinc]

Hello, a couple of months back I had saved up some money to buy an editing computer(cheap).

Here's the main parts: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/tMXhD3

Now I am not happy with the performance the integrated graphics in the AMD A8-7650k APU has.
I was wondering if my system would be compatible to install a GeForce GTX 960 on top of keeping the APU and if my motherboard (Asrock FM2A68M-HD+) has the connection required for the GPU.

Any ideas or suggestions on that?

Thank you

Yes, the video card will work in the top PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot. You need to also connect a 6-pin PCIe power connector from the power supply to the video card.

There does not seem to be any setting in BIOS to use both the APU graphics and GeForce video card graphics at the same time. You need to select the one you want in the BIOS. Clearing the CMOS will return the BIOS to default values.
