it all depends on the cpu really

as long as it has a pcie slot mobo doesnt matter much



if you already have it, you can turn it into a decent gaming rig with the proper i5 or i7


It supports the i7 3770 and i5 3570, which are very decent



slap in a rx 480 or a gtx 1060 and you have yourself a very capable 1080p machine

I already have 16gb ram with i3-3210 and im going to buy msi 1060! So is it prefect for me?

after you upgrade the cpu


the i3 will hold back the 1060 in many games

The motherboard is merely the platform you build your computer on. Once you know what CPU you want to use, the memory, and possibly overclocking, then you get a motherboard that supports that and you're set. In your case you have a dual core, this is your big limitation in newer games. That's why I don't think a 1060 is perfect for you. You will be paying money for performance you won't get in many games. There are games that don't use the CPU so much, those games the 1060 will be perfect for you, I assume you are using a 1080p monitor.

So the games you want to play will determine if this is perfect or not.

you said you already have 16gb ram.... may i know if you're already using the Intel dh61ww motherboard? if so, may i ask what ram did you use(what i mean is the type of ram and brand and specs like ddr3 and how many mhz)? Im also planning to upgrade my rig but i wanted to start on my ram...

P. S: i have i5 3450, and planning to buy GTX 1050 ti or 1060... but first i want to upgrade my ram... so please help me out
