Help on buying parts

[Danny Proud]

So I want to upgrade my old PC, I was thinking of buying MSI gt1030 2gb lp oc ddr5 graphics card and it says PCI Express 3.0 x16 (uses x4) will it fit in my motherboard the P8H61-M LX3 Plus that has   1 x PCIe 2.0 x16  and will my Intel Pentium G620 bottleneck? what if I buy a ram with 1600Mhz will it still work on a motherboard that only supports 2 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 1333/1066 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory will it still work?? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really can't afford expensive cards right now and I'm from south-east Asia buying second-hand GPU/CPU is kinda risky and sorry for my English.

How much watt does your power supply have and also how much ram do you currently have?

PCIE is backwards compatible.

 

What I'm concerned about is your PSU... can you tell me the model?

Your CPU is terrible, I would highly suggest you save up for an R3 2200G system, which will give you a better CPU with the same GPU performance.

You can just put a cheap i5 2400 and you will be golden for a bit at least

Maybe i can afford a little bit good CPU my budget is 200-300$ maybe, of course,  I need to spend a little because I also want to buy a new monitor cause my monitor doesn't support DVI nor HDMI and I'm not good at building pc I'm still learning  

[wonderforest]

yeah for 50$ it's a pretty good CPU and will hold anything up to a 1060 3gig imo.

Likely worth shooting for an i7 of some kind just to get those extra threads if you're going to be using the machine for a while.
