Yes, but make sure your PSU is good enough for a 650.

yea it has PCIe X16 slot so it will work. though instead of GTX 650 you should be interested in HD 7770, it should perform much better than that. oh and another thing what is your PSU? because a PSU is more important that the mobo while selcting gfx cards.

EDIT: a PSU is your "power supply unit" it generally converts AC current to DC current for the whole system.its that box thing that has all these cables and you generally see a PSU at the back. and PCIE 3.0 and 2.0 are backward compatible so it wont be a problem.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 650 card requires a PCI-E 3.0 16x while my motherboard only supports PCI-E 2.0 16x

Power Supply Unit, its what converts the AC power from the wall into DC which your computer can use.
If it has a 6pin PCIe connector, it should be sufficient.



That being said, if its a generic unit (no 80+ Certification, obscure brand or just unbranded entirely, typically grey, small red switch on the back that isnt the power switch) then I would be inclined too replace it. They tend to be pretty horrible quality.

EDIT: The PCIe revisions are forward and backward compatible, your fine with a Gen3 card in a Gen2 slot. You wont even get a hit too performance either.

My PSU is 500W But i don't think its actual anyway i am going to buy an actual 500w power supply with the graphics card anyway.

So this means that even thouh the EVGA Geforce TX 650 is PCI-E 3.0 16x it can support my motherboard vnthought it has a PCI-E 2.0 16x with a 500W power Supply

your welcome, anyway's if your interested in buying a new PSU buy from brand's like antec, corsair,seasonic, xfx, OCZ etc. they all make reliable PSU.

Depends on the PSU, does it have a 6pin PCI-e connector?

Unfortunately no it's a 4pin PCI-E Connetor

Theres no such thing, maybe your getting confused with the CPU 4pin connector?

But anyway, if it doesn't have it then you will need a new PSU. I recommend this unit.

I don't know of EVGA, but I have just checked ASUS GTX 550 Ti Boost 2 GB Direct CU II OC Version Graphics Card and it doesn't need a 6/8 Pin power connector because there is a power connector which regulates current from two 4 Pin power connectors from the PSU.

I have the Cooler Master RS 350 Power Supply which has those white 4 Pin Cables and is also compatible with this GFX Card.
