GTX 950 in Acer Predator G3620

[Kingzorzzz]

Hello.

I was wondering if the MSI GTX 950 will work with the Acer Predator G3620.
I still have the stock GT645 and i think its time to upgrade because this card isn't very good anymore for the latest games coming out.

I have a FSP Group INC PSU with 500 Watt (Model FSP500-70EP).
And i have the Acer Aspire G3620 motherboard.

a gtx 950 will be fine for that computer... I would reccomend saving up a bit more and getting a gtx 960, as your processor is still really good, and might get bottlenecked slightly by the 950...

you can get a refurbished gtx 960 for $159.99 on newegg.com

That price is almost identical to the lower end versions of the 950's

I would get that. YOu will get even a larger performance gain.

yeah it will.
