I just wanted to know if my motherboard the MSI FM2-A55M-E35 uATX Motherboard will be compatible with a gtx 650 Ti, Thanks (Sorry for the noobness)

Hello.
Short answer- yes.

 

[Eduello]

Yes, it is compatible. What power supply do you have?

 

[mishmushmash]

Thank you so much!

 

[mishmushmash]

I have a 500 W power supply

Yeah you'll want to make sure it's compatible with your power supply. Most graphics cards won't run on an OEM power supply.

Do you know the model?

Do you know the model?

How would I find that out?

Open up the case and check the label on the PSU.

What would I be looking for after I open it up and look at the label?

Is there a specific model listed? If not, take a picture, upload it somewhere and post the link here.

Well that's not too specific...

Does it have a cable like this?

That's what you need to have in order to run a GTX 650Ti.

Does it have one of those 6-pin PCIe plugs? I can't find any accurate info on the connectors

I dont think so, but could you find me a cheap alternative that would work with the gtx 650 ti?

This will give you some upgrade headroom (there's a 450W version but it actually costs more). It's never a good idea to cheap out on the PSU, this one is fairly cheap and it's made by Seasonic (= one of the best). Don't go for the Corsair CX series either, they're cheaper but the build quality is actually pretty bad.

Thank you very much you were very helpful,

 

[Eduello]

No problem 😀

If you want a cheaper alternative you could get a Corsair CX430 for $20. They come with 5 year warranties. I've been using mine to power a GTX 660 for over 4 years without problem. They are very reliable for their price.

They have a high failure rate (bad capacitors) so I wouldn't recommend it. You may have gotten lucky with yours but that may not be the case for everyone.
