Motherboard compatibility

[Matt]

Hey guys I just need some help
so I have a Biostar H61MGV3 Ver. 7.0 and I wanted to buy a gtx 750ti
is my motherboard compatible with the gpu?
also I have a PCI-E 2.0
while browsing in the internet some people say its compatible
I need your opinion guys
if its not compatible then please recommend me a compatible motherboard

It has a PCIe slot so it's compatible, and seeing how a GTX 750 Ti doesn't need a power connector(most), you just plug it in and you're good to go.

Should work, now the other question is your PSU strong enough, and it probably is.

I have a 500 watt power supply
can that do it?
and also I have an i3 and I dont like getting bottlenecked
can you recommend me a better processor to remove bottlenecks?

I would rather you give me the model of the processor, and 500 watt is great.

For the processor it depends on your budget, if I were you I would buy a Q9550, but if you want to blow every game out the water, the i5-4440.

Bit than again take all that with a grain of salt, I currently have a
R9 390X
i7 3770k
And there is a bottleneck that makes GTA V sub 60FPS.

I have an Intel core I3 2100 3.10ghz

Oh yeah, that would surely be a bottleneck, it would be okay, but once you were playing CPU intensive games.. ugh.
Maybe see if you can get the pentium g3258 cheap? It costs 80€ here, it surely can't be too expensive where you live.

I have to buy a new motherboard for that because it wont fit my sockets
Heres the pentium g3258`s supported socket
Sockets Supported   FCLGA1150
and heres my socket
Sockets Supported   FCLGA1155
im gonna run out of money with this

G3258 doesn't give that much boost in terms of CPU performance. Multithreaded apps might even work slower (2 vs 4 threads).
Also, both 750Ti and the i3 are mid-range. It should run fine most games, though newer games may get bottlenecked by CPU.

can it run battlefield 4 on 64players on medium/high settings?
can it also run gta 5 on 60fps while on medium or low?
and also some games?

Not sure about BF4, GTA:V I doubt.

so I`ve made up my mind and choose to buy the gpu and a new processor
should I buy EVGA or MSI?

I'd recommend EVGA or Gigabyte graphics cards. MSI ones are okay too. Make sure you get compatible parts.

Gigabyte is beloved on the internet, but I have to go against the grind here, I have always had bad experience with Gigabyte graphics cards, I would always recommend;
-EVGA for nVidia
-Sapphire for AMD

(Gigabyte cards have died and overheated on me so many times it hurts, no matter how much air flow you have, and believe me, I have a lot, it will overheat)

Ok guys thanks for the help
