Hey guys I can get a GTX 680 4gb for dirt cheap £130, Can anyone please tell me if it will be compatible with my rig such as connector and pins as I am fairly new and whether my PSU will do as I only have the one hard drive and do not overclock

Intel Core i5 4570 Quad Core (Haswell)

Gigabyte H87M-HD3 Motherboard

8GB Corsair Vengenance DDR3 1600MHz RAM

500GB Western Digital Black Hard Drive

Fractal Design Core 1000 Series Micro ATX Case

Corsair Builder Series CXM 500W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze
 
The 680 has a low enough TDP (~190W) that you can run it off a 500W power supply *if* it has enough amps on the +12V rail and *if* you do not have too many components attached to it. You state you don't overclock, so that helps too. You would have next to zero headroom however for future expansion. It depends on the quality of your PS too, and the Corsair CX Bronze series is pretty good.
