Is my motherboard compatible with gtx 960

[radar60]

I have an fx 6831-01c, Motherboard H57M01, right now I have a radeon hd 5850 1gb, and was wondering if I can change it for a GTX 960 2 gb, Will my motherboard take it?

if you have a HD5850 then a GTX960 will be compatible with your motherboard,
you bigger issue with the GTX960 is will your power supply be able to handle its consumption
what make/model is your power supply?

There should be no problem since the GTX 960 is less wattage than the HD-5850 was. But it sounds like you have a pre-built. List your PC make/model.

you need to make sure your power supply have the 6 pin connectors needed to power the video card
if it have it then you are ready to go get and enjoy, if not then you need to change power supply
