May i ask if my ECS G31T-M7 mobo compatible with a GeForce GT 430 and is GT 430 good for mid range gaming?

your mobo should work with the card. GT430 is an entry level card. what is your gaming resolution?

Motherboard should be compatible, but the GT430 is a bad buy for gaming. Nvidia does really bad when it comes to sub-$100 cards.

Take a look at one of these in the same price range. They offer much better performance.

I usually play in 1152x768 or lower in mid settings.

Not much of an AMD guy but i might give it a try after reading reviews that might convince me.
But will those graphics card also be compatible with my motherboard?

your mobo have PCI-E version 1.1. some 5k series and all 6k series using PCI-E 2.1 standards and it is commonly known that cards with PCI-E 2.1 have a bit problem working with PCI-E 1.x. so your best bet would be getting 5670 with PCI-E 2.0 standards.
