GPU Compatibility Issue

[azrifadly]

Need your help please!

I'm wondering what kind of GPU model or brand that would be compatible to my motherboard. I'm not a techy person so i'm not sure what upgrade would be best for me. Here's my specs.

Motherboard : BIOSTAR TA790GX 128M
GPU : Nvidia 9600 GT

I'm also wondering to upgrade my pc casing so anyone knows what sizes are my motherboard? Standard-atx? Micro-atx? Mini-atx?

Any PCI-E card also can fit lah. Which is like 99.99% of graphic card in SLS now.

Your mobo is ATX.

Thank you! But i'm wondering what's the preferred GPU that would be for me if my budget is <$150 ?

and i forgot to mention my CPU is AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 B50 Processor, 3100 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

Below $150, better don't buy any gpu. If you still want to upgrade your card, i suggest you save more. Or get second hand card.

The impact is marginal for cards below your intended budget.

Get 2nd hand card is better value

honestly you might want to looking into changing the whole rig to something more contemporary. I'm struggling to force my Sister's Opteron 4280 (6 core Phenom II) to play borderlands: The Pre-Sequel at even 60 FPS. I changed her Radeon 5870 to an Asus MARS 760 (dual GTX 760) and the games these days demand more CPU resources than a Phenom II can provide.

A second hand GTX 560Ti at around $60 should be good enough.
