Need help upgrading my pc

[shroomz76]

Hi, Im looking to upgrade my pc to a triple monitor sim racing rig. I was thinking of getting one gtx 980 and keeping the rest as is but dont know if the 980 is compatible with my system.

This is what I have now.

Motherboard: P67 Extreme4
http://

CPU: I5 2500k
http://

Graphics Card: GTX 560 TI

Ram: 2 x 4GB

PSU: I think I have a Siverstone 850w Modular

Thanks for any help!

Well your motherboard has the PCIE 2.0 X 16 slot....which will work. Very small difference for the most part between 2.0 and 3.0 versions.

The CPU is fine and won't be an issue with bottleneck.

The PSU you list is not specific on whether it has the connections or not, but it should since it is 850 Watts. Just double check its connections are appropriate to the 980 you are considering.

And just make sure you have a case that will fit the GPU fine, and you are good to go.
