Video cards and motherboards tend to be pretty compatible across the board. Unless you have a VERY old motherboard or a VERY old graphics card, the PCI-E slots and cards are designed to be backwards compatible with each other about 95% of the time. So no worries, those two will play fine together.

RAM and CPUs are picky, but GPU's are easy-going.
