[SOLVED] is there a Gpu compatibilty with the motherboard ms-7869 VER:1.0?

[Exch0o]

I am trying to put a gpu in my PC. It is an acer aspire with a i7-4790k i think. I am not sure if my motherboard can even fit a Gpu or if my power supply can handle on but here are some photos of the power supply and motherboard. Can someone please help me.

The motherboard is fine for a gpu, the psu not so much.
Its 300w and is nearly 6 years old.

It could run a low power gpu but it depends what your plans are.??

What's your budget upgrade, what are your expectations.
I will say because of that usb 3 plug being close to the GPU slot you do need to look at fairly short cards, possibly single fan models so you're not going to get anything really high powered performance wise in there.

It is standard atx so can be replaced fairly easily.

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand that my PSU cannot handle top of the line GPUs but I was looking for more low profile GPUs that take up little energy and give me at least 2gb Vram. I was looking for things like this https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce...253506011&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sr=1-1 But i am not sure if this will work. Do you have any recommendations for me. Sorry but I am fairly new to this.

A 1030 would drop straight in no issue, even with that psu.

You want a short form card not a low profile one though in particular.
That usb 3 connector looks like it would interfere with anything that's substantially longer than the GPU slot.

What country are you in? What's your budget?

What's your actual acer model??

Its looks like a standard width case not a small form factor one.

That card would be ideal, in budget but you have to check shipping prices to work out the best deal.

Ok thanks so much

I've just notuced that front audio cable bottom left of the board.

That will be a tight fit, you may have to unplug that for a gpu to fit.

I don't see that as an issue as you have headphone and mic sockets on the back of the case too but you may.

It may fit without removing it but just thought I'd warn you.
