Can my motherboard handle the GTX 1080 TI?

[surfridertravolta100]

I wanted to buy a new PC but it will come out expansive if i buy everything all at once so i'm thinking on upgrading my PC little by little.

Configs are:

CPU: Intel i5 6400
RAM: 8GB 2133MHz HyperX Kingston
Motherboard: Gigabyte B150M-D3H DDR4
GPU: GTX 750 TI 2GB
PSU: 500w

This website http://www.pc-specs.com/gpu/Nvidia/1000_Series/GeForce_GTX_1080_Ti/3506/Compatible_Motherboards says the DDR3 version of the same motherboard CAN run the 1080, but it has no mention of the DDR4

Also bear i mind i pretend to upgrade every piece.

Thanks.

Your motherboard is fine, there is no issues in putting a GTX 1080Ti on it. It doesn't matter what type of RAM the motherboard uses, it has no bearing on the graphics card.
Your PSU at 500w is only just enough...that's if it's a good make. If it's a poor make, then you should upgrade it at the same time.

Hey, thanks for answering. So, do you think a 1070 would have any problems with the PSU? Also since we're on the topic, i know the 1080 is going to last for a while, but if we're talking 3 to 4 years, do you think a 1070 would suffice the graphical demands for Ultra settings on 1080p? Aiming at constant 60FPS.

The 1070 certain uses far less power than the 1080Ti, but even still it doesn't pay to use a cheap PSU. As I don't know what make of PSU you have, it's hard to say for sure that you'll be safe, however if it's an OK make then yes you're fine.

As for 1080p gaming, the 1070 is more then enough for now on Ultra. Yes games will become more demanding, but for the most part, I think the 1070 will still be good in 3 to 4 years. A lot of new games now are requiring a CPU that's every bit as good as the GPU, especially in multiplayer games where they may have 64 to 100 players.....so a good CPU can go a long way in maintaining a playable frame rate.

The motherboard is commpatible with that card. What's important with the slot and the card is PCI Express x16 3.0. That's a physical description of the slot and its version number. The 1080 needs a PCIe x16 3.0 slot so they are compatible.

Your PSU is not going to work. We can't say SURE!!!! because of the card meets the rec. specs..The 1080 needs a 500W PSU but it needs a quality PSU.

Offer specific info and we can. Some already have confirmed it themselves. That's good. We don't know they have.
