in place of a GTS250 nvidia card

I am currently have this motherboard

Can someone confirm that the power should be okay with the 6 pin connector I was using with the GTS250, can this just be a straight swap.

Please can you bear in mind this is my first graphics card installation, any advice would be very useful

Straight swap should work well. Just wipe the old drivers beforehand.
