Hello i'm new on this forum and I will stay on here because it's amazing but i'm starting with a big question ...

I Want to buy a new video card (100-150$) And the video card I spotted is the GTX 560 TI 1GB GDDR5
For my low budget it's seem to be a good video card for the price but if you guys have any better suggestions i'm open...
My question is : Would it fit in my pc ?

Heres the GTX requirements...
Two (2) rear expansion slots
Available PCI Express or PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot with available adjacent slot
Two (2) 6-pin PCI Express power connectors
DVI, DisplayPort or HDMI display
Minimum 450-watt power supply recommended ( MY ps is allright)




The video card link : http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=ZT-50308-10M
My motherboard link : http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A78LTM/#specifications


Thanks in advance and sorry for my grammar i'm french :P
 
Your motherboard should work fine with this card, and it is not very long, so your case should be able to handle it fine too.

What powersupply do you have? Just to make sure it's a quality PSU that can handle the card.

The GTX 560 Ti along with a Phenom quad should be more than capable of playing most games on Medium-High settings.

Last question? Last week i was running on my old geforce 8500 512mb i wanst playing any games and my computer crashed with weird screen flashes and sounds three times in 10mins and then my computer was on a black screen... I removed the video card and now my comp works fine ... I also cleaned the 8500 and tryed again but nothing works... Could it be my motherboard? Because i dont wanna buy a video card and have a bad surprise... And I was also wondering if this video card could run the GTA IV w/ icEhancer mod...

Sounds like your 8500 is dying/dead, your motherboard should be fine. And i'm not sure about the icEhancer mod, never tried it, but i'm sure someone else has experience around here.

I feel kinda stupid but theres few graphic cards with pcie e 2.0 and some with 3.0 ... Both fits in my motherboard?
Because i was thinking about that one http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=HD7750-1GD5-V2-DH

and after checking for reviews on youtube and videos about Icenhancer it seems to be a great one for less money.

I Hope it's my last question mate. :P

Pci-E 2.0 works with Pci-E 3.0 and Pci-E 3.0 works with Pci-E 2.0.

They're backwards compatible, it doesn't matter which is which.

And while the HD 7750 is cheaper than the GTX 560Ti, the GTX 560Ti is a much better performer.
