hi im thinking of buying a http://www.ebuyer.com/705753-asus-strix-gtx-960-4gb-gddr5-dual-link-dvi-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-graphics-strix-gtx960-dc2oc-4gd5 graphics card and my current motherboard is a http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4502#ov

are they compatiable? thank you

Yep the GTX 960 will work more than fine in the current motherboard you have. Your motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot so you will be fine. Just know that you will need some power connectors from your power supply in order to give the graphics card enough power to run properly.

A gpu will work with any motherboard that has a PCIE slot. There are some proprietary motherboards like HP and Dell computers which may limit this. If you buying a motherboard from manufacturers then you shouldn't get a problem.

So yes they will work together

hi thank you so much for your quick response, could you tell me how hard it is to replace the graphis card?

 

[Nordein]

It is extremely easy to replace. So when the graphics card is in the slot, it is secured by the slot itself, you can see a little lever at the end of it. There are also screws that hold it in place at the side of the case on the inside, that is holding the bracket where the video connectors are. All you need to do is unscrew the screws, push the lever to open it up an take the GPU out.

Then put the new GPU in, it may be a snug fit but do not be afraid to put a little pressure to push it all the way into the pci-e slot. If the pci-e lock does not lock after the card is inserted make sure to lock it, then screw in the metal bracket to the case. That is all you need to do.

Like I said before as well, you will need a 6-pin power connector from the power supply to also plug into the back of the card that way it gets the full power it needs to operate.
