Question about changing GPU

[jeff09]

Hello so I'm gonna buy a Nvidia Inno3D GTX 560 Ti 1GB DDR5 and I was curious if its gonna fit on my motherboard ty: ASRock G31M-GS. (CPU Socket)

As long as your motherboard has an available PCI-Ex16 slot (yours does), then the graphics card will physically fit. The other question you need to ask is whether or not your power supply can handle the new graphics card.

Watts. For the GTX 560, you're going to want at least a quality 450 watt power supply. 500-550 watts would be even better.

Borderline. Who is the manufacturer (should be a name or model number on the sticker)?

You can try it, but I'd probably recommend a power supply replacement as well.

From what I can see, that power supply doesn't have the necessary power connectors (2x PCIE 6-pin) for your new graphics card. You're going to want to replace it. Unfortunately, power supply costs have started to rise as well. I'd probably look at something like this Seasonic:

I'm done with this pc to be honest. Can you suggest me GPU-S for this power supply

Mod Edit for implied Language

Never mind, I will be buying a 500W power supply is there anything I need to look ? or every power supply will fit ?
Is this one ok ? (PSU ATX-500W12 Bulk - 500W/PFC/120mm fan)

Personally, I wouldn't bother, but if you really want a new graphics card, I'd probably look for a Geforce GTX 1050 that does not require a PCIE power connection direct from the power supply.
