GPU Motherboard Compatibility?

[lbPC]

Hi, I'm just looking for some help with figuring out which GPU is compatible with my current MB.

This is my current rig at the moment:

CPU: i5 2500 3.3GHZ
MB: Intel DH67BL
GPU: GTX 560
RAM: 8gb

I'm pretty sure the MB I currently have is an mATX but I'm not 100%. Just wondering if something like a GTX 960 or 970 would fit in the MB and the mid-tower?
Also, are there any severe bottlenecking or performances issues I'd encounter with this rig in general?

Thank you!

P.S. I know there's probably lots I have to upgrade but I only have enough money for one component and I'm looking to upgrade my gaming experience

There should be no reason any GPU release in the last 5 years wouldn't work with your motherboard - as long as you have a PCIe x16 slot (and you do) you're good to go.

As for whether it would fit in your case, we would need to know your case, now wouldn't we?

Either graphics card will work with the motherboard but I don't know if they'll fit into your case or if your PSU is good enough/has the necessary connections.

Oh, and yes, an i5 2500 + GTX 960 or 970 is a decent combo.

What case and PSU?

I have no idea what the exact case is but does it just come down to dimensions? Measuring the case and then the GPU?

The PSU is a Thermaltake Litepower 700w and I'm not too sure of the case exactly I bought the PC second hand

Yes, if you just measure out how much space you have between the back of the case and the next obstruction in the case you can figure out how much space you'll have for a GPU.

Compare that length to whatever GPU you want and you'll know if it'll fit or not.

Okay thank you!
