GTX 750Ti compatibility with MSI motherboards

[Elena]

Hello,

 

I'm having a doubt about my PC and its compatibility with a GPU I want to buy.

 

The specs I currently have are:

Motherboard: MSI A78M-E35

CPU: AMD A10 5800K @3800MHz with integrated graphics AMD Radeon HD 7660D

PSU: LC Power LC420H-12

 

In order to mount and run a GTX 750Ti

I'd also have to get a new PSU and I'm planning to get the Seasonic G-360 contemporarily. 

 

So I'm asking if there's any other compatibility issue between any of the other components... 

 

Thank you in advance!

Some 750Tis do not need external power. I would get that card. You would not need a New PSU.

Have you OCed the A10 to 7.6 GHz.?!?!

 

Anyway, the 750Ti will work fine, and there doesn't seem to be any sort of compatibility issues with any parts. I believe the A10 will not bottle-neck the 750 Ti, but if you're gonna go higher (like GTX 1060, RX 480) in the future, you better change the CPU. The power-supply will work OK for now, but isn't recommended for extended usage at all! Please do get a very reliable PSU, at least the Seasonic M12II 520 (80+ Bronze 520W Semi-Modular).

 Actually it's 3,8GHz, I don't know where that information came out.

 

"The issue with your PC is that although the PC may draw 200-250W of power, your power supply is only rated for 15A on the 12V rail, so the maximum amount of 12V power it can give to your components, is only 180W. It is already at it's limit under load and will not be able to handle a dedicated GPU." Quoting Aniallation on that, 2 years ago.

 

It makes sense to me, since my PSU doesn't even have the 80+ efficiency confirmed & is making too much noise. I wouldn't want to put under stress any of my PC components, especially my power supply

thank you guys for the information, I really appreciate it!

Is the Seasonic M12II 520 'EVO' just as good or...?

And also, how do I know if it is semi modular or not?

Good choice! Generally Seasonic PSUs (at least M12II-series and above) are very reliable, and 80+ Bronze is not condemn-ably inferior to higher 80+ ratings. So go for it! You can visit the product page of the PSU, where they'd definitely put up such specs. But before buying any component, read up on numerous reviews on reputable websites, even if you the product is the best of best - it might probably lack a certain feature you'll require, or there may be small issues. So, if you plan on investing in a Seasonic M12II 520 EVO, read all the reviews on the internet, and make a wise choice. Good luck!
