Hi all, as title says, I once bought a (no brand, generic) Intel H61 motherboard (socket 1155) in a rush to get my broken HP Pavilion working again. I have a poor 300W HP PSU which I'm going to upgrade with a Cooler Master ~700W. Here comes now the real problem: what GPU should I buy to be compatible with this H61? (My CPU is a Core i7-3770) Was thinking about a 1050 TI, but don't know if it's compatible.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Every modern motherboard will include a pcie X16 graphics slots that all modern graphics cards use.

While 300w is not great, it should be sufficient to run a GTX1050tithat does not need aux 6 pin power.

If you do upgrade the psu, buy a quality psu.
Coolermaster quality is variable.
