Compatible GPU for motherboard

[xXxJavierxXx]

Hello,

What is the compatible GPU i can buy currently for the following motherboard:

ASROCK B75M-DGS
Intel i3-3220
450W PSU

It's quite an outdated desktop. I want to use the GPU for light gaming such as dota2.

Thanks!

Also,

I am using Coolermaster elite 343 micro atx casing. Is there any option for me to improve on the cooling using this case? Worried about the heat issue! thanks!

1) Your motherboard has a PCI-e X16 slot. All GPUs sold in the market are compatiable with it. What PSU are you using, though?

2) Add more case fans and use stronger case fans.

Acbel 450W!

Will all the GPU be compatible since the case is a micro-atx?

1) A GTX 750ti would be sufficient for your needs and it is only at most 170mm long, so it will fit.

2) Change your PSU. Acbel PSUs are not exactly the best (though not blow up in your face kind of bad) and may spoil sometime in the future as you have been using for some time. Get a Seasonic S12G 450W for about $89 and enjoy 80 Plus Gold efficiency from your new PSU.

Alternatively for PSU, you can get a FSP Hexa+ 450W @ $59, very reliable but not as efficient as the recommended gold efficient PSU.

Do your casing have a exhaust fan cause i notice that the case does not have a stock rear fan.
If no, it is strongly recommended to get one.
From the coolermaster elite 343 specs, get a 90mm casse fan with high CFM and low noise.

no rear fan? how can be?

which means i have to change the stock fans to something more powerful? The case also comes with the front 120mm fan.

It is up to you whether you want to change the fan or/and add more fans. Stock case fans are usually not very powerful and are optimised for silence though.
