Dude, I know I might have been asking this for like 3 times, but I really concerned if my system is incompatible. What do you really need to look out for if you buy a GPU?

For brute compatibility make sure you have enough PSU wattage and the proper pci slot. For full optimization for your system, please post the specs so I can suggest a gpu for you.

What is a pci slot? Is that the ddr value? I got 500w psu bruh

The pci slot is just the plug it uses to plung into the motherboard. Just make sure you have an open slot as the one you are getting on the gpu. The ddr value is the speed of video memory bandwith in the card itself. 500 watts is fine if you are getting a lower power usage nvidia. Don't try putting an AMD gpu in that pc without upgrading the PSU.

So, i'm thinking a GTX 960 is that good? I mean, It need 400w PSU And I got 500w is that not a big deal? Or, can you suggest something better?

What PSU do you have brand wise? The GTX 960 is a solid choice. That should work great with your setup. Mind if I also see the rest of your specs?

Yeah a gtx 960 will be a great complement to your system.
