Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. System Model: Z68AP-D3 BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM i5-2500 CPU @ 3.30Ghz (4 CPUs), ~3.6GHz Memory: 8192MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 11 [U]Display[/U] Name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 I want to get a GTX 970, but I'm not sure which one is compatible with my computer? I also am unsure how complicated installing one would be. My friend suggested I get this: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487076&cm_re=gtx_970-_-14-487-076-_-Product[/url] Which seems solid, but I'd like to know if this is compatible aswell as if there's something better I could get for around the same price. Any help is much appreciated.
Honestly not sure how to check. Also, is that graphics card compatible with my computer?

The recommended minimum wattage power supply is 500 for the 970, anything above that and you should be fine.
So do you guys think this graphics card is the most bang for my buck?
