Need a GPU for After Effects and Gaming (Need Urgent Help)

[NashNuts]

Hello there,

I am Motion Graphics Designer and I work on After effects and Premiere but I like to play Hi-Res games as well, Looking for a good graphic card that can support my After Effects and delivers me good Quality Graphics in games. My budget is between 30000 INR to 40000 INR.


My current Specs:
MOBO: Asus Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac)
Memory: 8x2 DDR3 2400 mhz
PSU: Corsair RM 750
CPU Cooler: Corsair H110
HDD: WD 1TB Black Internal Desktop Hard Drive
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB
DVD Writer: Asus Internal DVD Writer DRW-24D5MT


My opinion is GTX 1070 or GTX 1080, but I am little confused that my Motherboard will support that cards or not. Because that cards supports PCIe 3.0, and I don't know what my motherboard supports PCIe 2.0 or 3.0, Please help..

You can also suggest me some other cards too between my budget

Thank you in advance.

you will be fine, your z97-pro board will handle PCIe x16 3.0 as per https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z97PROWiFi_ac/
so the 1070 or 1080 will work, as long as your power supply has the connectors to run it, which I believe it does have dual 8 pins.
