[SOLVED] Can my GA-G31M-S2L motherboard support a better GPU?

[fanistaou]

Hello, i like playing games, especially CS:GO, i guess its not a game that demands a good PC configuration but i would like to upgrade my GPU but i dont know if my motherboard supports it with PCI slots (dont know at all)
My pc config is :
550W supply
GA-G31M-S2L Motherboard
Intel(R)Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @3.00GHz CPU
4GB or RAM
ATI RADEON 5770 Series 1GB DDR5 GPU.
Which is the best possible working GPU i can get.
Thanks for your time.

Your motherboard has a PCIe x16 slot so it can support any graphics card but I would not RECOMMEND it because your CPU would bottleneck your new GPU. Therefore, I would recommend you to upgrade your motherboard and CPU first.

I tried a used HD 7770 GPU PCi e.3 and the monitor wasnt opening, thats why i thought that i cant use any high GPU. I was thinking of any kind of old GPU to upgrade a little bit.
Thank you for time.

It could be that the used GPU was broken or you didn't install it right.

How could i install it right when the screen wasnt even opening?
What do you think of this one : GeForce® GT 730 1GB DDR5 , could it work better than my?
