Any PCI Express card should work however take note of the following as I could not find the exact specifications of the PCI Express slot on your motherboard except that it runs at 16x speed.

1) If you buy a card that is PCI Express v2 or v3 and your motherboard is v1 it may not run at full speed (but should still function just fine)
2) Make sure your power supply has the correct power connectors available for the card you wish to buy. Some take 6 pin PCI-E power connectors, some take 8 pin, and some a combination of the two. (open your case and find out)
I now need to find a monitor lol, Currently trying to find one in good will so it'll be cheap. :p. Ty guy's.
 


My father found a VGA Monitor, Will this work for the GTX 1050? Link Removed

I brought a Lenovo desktop computer from craigslist and the computer has a old GTX 550 and replaced it with a GTX 750 Ti a year ago for about $140 dollars. The 750 Ti is much better and uses less power than the GTX 550 video card. The 750 Ti video card I brought is from ASUS and has a hdmi, dvi and vga port. There are some 750 Ti video card that are powered directly from the motherboard without the need for a 6 pin plug. I choose the video card with a 6 pin plug and it has two quiet fans instead of just one fan.

Go read the reviews on Amazon.com on this item. Many reported as not working and/or fake adapter. Do not buy an generic brand. Buy one that is Startech, VisionTek, Belkin brand.

If you are going to buy a 750 Ti or 1050 for a VGA monitor, this is like buying a Porsche engine for a Volkswagon bug. Go to craigslist or amazon and look for used 1080p widescreen monitors. No point trying to play games or trying to type a word letter on a VGA resolution.

You get a adapter to hook it up with a vga monitor, Something like this. Amazon.com: StarTech DVI Male to a VGA Female Connector, Black (DVIVGAMFBK): Electronics
 


I got a vga monitor. I can hook up a Dvi cable to it, When i do and i change the input to dvi why does everything like my browser dissapear?
 


VGA monitor is 640x480. You need to go to system control panel, display panel and adjust resolution to 640x480.

Sorry, I ment its a dvi monitor. The monitor i have can go up to 1980 resoltion, I found out tho, Only can use 1 cable.
 


You just need a dvi-d cable. No adapter needed when connected to a 1080p dvi monitor.
