• Anything higher on the gtx line. 1070 (450) 1080(550) but i went with the 2070 (600). Its a mid range gc and it has the latest tech for all the upcoming games. If you have more $$ the 2080(800)of 2080ti (1100).

• It should work with your CPU, Provided that you meet the minimum power requirements of 550W power supply with an 8 pin (6 + 2 pins) connector. Length of the video card is 9 inches, height is roughly 4.5 inches. It will take up 2 slots of the motherboard.

• Yes you can for the most part cpus and gpus are two different systems so your i5 will work with a 2070, 2060 etc. but keep in mind that you’ll have a pretty current and fast card paired with a good but older cpu
