GTX 750Ti SC compatibility with my current computer?

[LeXerPrime]

Could someone help me with compatibility? I'm pretty new to building a computer although I have done it myself before.
Would I be able to get an EVGA GTX 750Ti SC 2GB along with my present AMD A8-6500 Elite Quad Core, MSI 2AE0 motherboard to replace my current AMD Radeon HD 8570D? Also to add, I have 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4GB HyperX Fury) and have 3.5 GHz clock speed.
Also what are the possible benchmarks I could receive? I mainly play Battlefield, GTA, CSGO, LoL and StarCraft 2.
Thanks.

Forgot to mention I'm running Windows 8.1 on 64-bit OS

Look here for the performance specs on current and desired cards....the 750Ti blows the 8570 away!

You just need to confirm your motherboard has a single PCI-E x 16 slot however you won't need a power connector as the GPU takes all its power from the PCI-E slot.

@Sinistercr0c, thank you! I have been wanting to upgrade my graphics card for a while now since I got bored of my standard built-up AMD Radeon graphics.
Yeah my motherboard has PCI-E 16x but I'm not sure whether I should get a new power supply?

The video card is compatible with the motherboard.
The biggest concern is if it is compatible with your power supply.
Depending on the version you choose, you will need at least a 300 watt power supply, and some Overclocked versions require a 6 pin PCIE connector from the power supply as they consume more than 75 watts.

Thank you. I am already planning on getting a more powerful power supply. My motherboard already has a 6pin PCI-E slot.

The motherboard does not have a 6 pin PCI-E slot.
The motherboard has a PCI-E x16 lane slot. And 3 PCI-E x1 lane slots.
The PCI-E 6 pin power connector is part of the power supply and plugs into the video card.
The EVGA model you are looking at does not need the 6 pin PCI-E power connector, but some models do.

Apologies - I should have said for the GPU the OP is looking at (EVGA GTX 750Ti SC 2GB) he will not need a 6 pin connector from the PSU, however other 750Ti cards from other manufacturers may...

For $10 more this GTX 950 is almost twice as fast at gaming than the 750Ti SC model you are looking at.
But it does requie a 350watt power supply and a 6 pin PCI-E power connector.

No problems, but these threads get picked up and reposted on a lot of other forums , so I try to be very precise in the information I post, do not want somebody else to read it and get incorrect information.
All is good.

Oh that's nice. Haven't compared it really to any other graphics cards other than the R9 270. I think I could pay a minimal amount more for a much better upgrade. Also I feel that the 750Ti SC isn't as powerful because its older and only has 1 fan. I will probably go with the Gtx 950 from MSI now that I think of it.
