Will a GTX760 fit my motherboard

[CosmiChaos]

I have this motherboard http://goo.gl/4X6NT5 I want to change a GTX760 for my amd radeon 6670, would it fit my motherboard.

If it doesn't could you recommend the highest GTX card I can use in my motherboard?

Yes you have a PCI-e X16 slot so it will fit.

What are the rest of your specs and PSU to see what the best card for your system is?

The case size is more important.

I have an 850 watt power supply as well

That will be a bottleneck. It should work in the motherboard, your power supply is probably fine, and it fits your case it will work, but not to its full potential.

+1 without a new CPU you may not see a whole lot of improvement your CPU will seriously be holding you back.

A bottleneck shouldnt prevent you from buying a graphics card. You can always upgrade the processor later. Sure the CPU will hold you back, but that doesnt mean that a 760 wouldnt be an upgrade.

What power supply are you running? Wattage is not enough; quality is key. It also depends on the games you are trying to play.

BTW have you bought this already or thinking of buying since we need to know what you have now and are going to buy.

I've already linked what I have now.

I don't actually know what PSU I have I bought it about a year ago and I cant remember what I bought, but I do know that it is good quality I have a PC expert friend who helped me with it before, but i cant get in contact with him anymore so..

 

[CosmiChaos]

So the only thing is that my CPU is holding it back, which I already knew would happen, but I will be upgrading that by the end of the year anyway.
Thanks for the help so far.

I have a question for you guys. What processor do you recommend me buying for the GTX760 to reach its full potential?

Best choice would be an i5-4670 or FX-83XX depends if you want Intel or AMD.

If you dont know the power supply you are running, it would probably be a good time to upgrade it. If its a nice Antec/Corsair/XFX/good branded power supply, then you should be fine.
