Mobo - Graphics Card compatibility

[BarathObama]

I am building a new PC and i wanna use m-ITX mobo. The one that i wanna use is MSI Z97I AC.

In MSI's website there is no information about compatibility with the Radeon 200 and 300 series.

Can i use MSI R9 270x Gaming 2g on this mobo?

Yes - slots are standardized. As long as the card uses the appropriate slot, it's compatible with the board.

Any modern GPU will work with any modern Mobo, just as long as they both use the PCI-E standard.  You'll be fine given that the card you choose fits in your case.

Tips because your a new builder.

Go to pc parts picker.

Make a parts list that fits your budget.

Post it in the new builds and planning section on the form and get feedback, and take suggestions on possible changes.

I have a relatively old mobo ( ASRock 4Core1600Twins-P35). I think it was released in 2007. Will it be compatible with modern GPU's?

Yes, but whatever processor you have won't be able to keep up with a high end modern graphics card.

I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200. The problem is my CPU or the mobo?

What GPU are you planning to pair with it.

[Nikoskotgr]

I was thinking a GTX 750Ti or a GTX 950. I can't afford a high end GPU.

you should be fine then also take a look at AMD's offerings because at that price point they have some very good competitive products.

thanks!!!! 

So gpu compatibility depends only on PCI-E slots... Is that right?

Yup Its completely backwards compatible through all 3 generations.
