Hello
What version of PCIE slot my motherboard BIOSTAR P4M900-M7 SE has?
Thank you!

But my PCIE will botteneck it

Not really no, The speed difference is minimal. What will bottleneck it is your very old processor and board in general.

I'm getting newer processor too

Even if you got the fastest LGA 775 processor that will work on your board, it will still bottleneck any card as fast as an R9 270x or GTX 750/950. Just keep that in mind within your expectations.

How it will work then?

then you are telling me to not upgrade anything?
I'm confused

If you wanted to get a really new GPU it would slow things down a lot.

However I just saw that post where you said what you are planning on buying. Those would work very well together and fine on your board and system.

Yes i'm planning to get core duo but i asked on other question about Intel Pentuim E6700 or Intel core 2 duo E6700 someone posted a link of website that where i can comparing CPU's i compared Pentuim E6700 and E6800 to Duo E6700 and i found out Pentuim perform faster then Duo and i asked about GPU's i'm planning to buy and 4 answered all of them said GT 740 is better 2 of them told me to get the pentuim E6700 better then Duo E6700

The Pentium E6700 is faster, and the GT 740 would make a nice GPU. All will work on your system

I will buy 2GB varaint or 1GB varaint of it and i want to play some small games indies and some small unity games + flash online games and also Left 4 dead 2 so i will be able to run them with this GPU and CPU? (GTA IV also if possible on lowest settings)

Sorry for my bad english

That will work perfectly fine, left 4 dead and GTA IV will work on that as well. Get a 2gb variant if you can preferably.

If you can fit it either of the first 2 are better, better memory and cooling.

If you can get 1 more GB ram that would be good. You run WIndows 7?

So all types are compatible?

I have 3GB RAM and i'm running Windows 8.1 its pretty fast with my PC at heavy usage memory reaches around 76% no more

Memory all types are not compatible, you need DDR2-PC2-6400 or PC2-5300 memory its very cheap here:

http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Biostar/p4m900-m7-se

You probably have a 2GB DIMM and a 1GB, you would want to replace the 1 GB DIMM with a 2GB one you order from here. Before buying anything though open your PC and check the label on the ram you have and then buy the same type. You want to see if it says DDR2-PC2-5300 or DDR2-PC2-6400 and buy the correct one.

I bought my RAM from store i will buy another one from same store which will equal 4GB RAM
and i'm asking about compatible of GPU not RAM

 

[Rogue Leader]

Any of those GPUs you selected are compatible. The first 2 on the list are preferable. Whichever one is available or cheapest, they are basically the same.
