So my current motherboard doesn't support the new gpu i just bought (which it said nothing about on the official site or where i bought it from...........BWAAAH..)

So the motherboard is going to be the ASUS H61M-K uATX or microATX..
The CPU is the i7-2600 (already have that)
The gpu is the GTX750ti

I only need 500watts, but i have no idea what uses what and what volt i need and amp or whatever you called it, so i'll buy the one you recommend (not too expensive, i just wasted my food money on the non-supported gpu, which again, it didn't say anything about that, i just followed the required Watts.. I had to manually look up something i had never heard off before installing it.

Well yes the PSU is a 460W
and the fans does spin, but right now the computer makes beeps with 10 seconds between them about 3-4 times before shutting down.

The old motherboard was a pegatron chicaco ch-2 i believe, but people over at hp said that this motherboard does not support the 7xx line of cards, so i thought i would have to buy a new motherboard, and the one i looked at has the 1155 socket which my i7-2600 (not a k) uses.

also the psu is extremely old (from 2011 i think or even before that)

these are the stats from my previous topic:

460w, 100-240V 50-60hz 8A

DC Output:

+ 3.3V = 14.0A
+ 5.08V = 15.0A
+ 12Va = 15.0A
+ 12Vb = 18.0A
+ 12Vc = 10.0A
- 12V = 0.3A
+5.08Vsb = 2.0A

That's all she wrote.

"Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards"

I can also see the PCI slot on pictures on the website.

Your board does support any PCI-E card so also the GTX750ti which you bought.

And 460w should be plenty for your system normally everything should be fine and work together even with the new GPU.


Edit: If you still want to upgrade your PSU and want to stick to Corsair go for the CS/RM series if you're on a tight budget.

did you try updating the motherboard bios to the newest version available?

was the 750 ti a version than needs 6-pin cables to be plugged into it?

But the problem is it beeps when installing it.
and some said i needed to disable secure-boot which i can't find anywhere.

they likely mean UEFI, which you need to go into bios and set to legacy

Yes my old one also used the 6-pin.

the problem with the eufi.. is i when i press enter, nothing happens whatsoever.

I'm running windows 10 if that could do anything about it.
