Can my motherboard handle this?

[eillas]

Hello, I have a : MSI Z77A-GD65 (MS-7751) Version 2.0 Motherboard and I am desiring to upgrade to Gtx 1050 4 gb or 2gb
and a I5 6600k processor. Can I run it?

The 1050 would go in without a problem, but the CPU is a different socket than the one your current motherboard supports, so it would be a no go.

This looks correct that board is a Sandy/Ivy Bridge board.

Okay what mother board is a budget board that can handle that? is there any work around that can put a CPU that can run that card without bottlenecking.

my current motherboard i think is https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/Z77AG...#hero-overview

I'm confused by your question/statement

The graphics card will work fine with that motherboard.

The i5 6600k CPU does not work with that motherboard so you need to buy a CPU (might be hard to find new as they are getting pretty old) that fits the motherboard or buy a different motherboard (and ram) that fit with the CPU.


For an unlocked i5 that would be a z170 or z270 motherboard like:

http://pcpartpicker.com/product/WN98...rd-ga-z270p-d3 is a cheap-ish one
http://pcpartpicker.com/product/CVX2...-b250m-bazooka is cheaper but does not allow for overclocking of the CPU.

to clarify, I am looking for a budget motherboard to handle those two things.

Okay new question can this processor http://pcpartpicker.com/product/hV7C...-bx80662i36100 be handled by my current motherboard and can it handle gtx 1050?

That processor cannot be handled by your current Motherboard

For a skylake cpu you need a LGA1151 type socket. Please fill this out.

What's your budget?

[eillas]

several hundred dollars. I am really on a budget.

LGA1151 +Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor + gtx 1050 work

A pertinent question would be what your current CPU is. If you're on a tight budget your current CPU might be just fine.

I5-3560k cpu 2.40 GHz 4 cpu

[Fascinate]

I5-3560k cpu 2.40 GHz 4 cpu

That isn't a cpu lol. Go into task manager>performance tab and tell us what model it says.

Intel core I5-3560k cpu 3.40 GHz

[the boar]

just gonna assume you mean 3570k since a 3560k does not exist..

throw the 1050 in your current pc and forget the cpu upgrade, i do not believe you are gonna see any significant bottlenecking of that card from that cpu

[Nellah]

3570K? Your CPU is just fine, especially if you're on a tight budget. Put the money toward a more substantial GPU upgrade, as the 1050 Ti is a strong budget card but is still a budget low-end card. Set your sights on the GTX 1060 or RX570/480/580, which you should be able to afford easily while keeping your current CPU. The 1050 Ti will choke on a (combined) 3840x1080 setup.

Do you know what video card (GPU) you have right now?

when you upgrade your cpu, upgrade your motherboard.
