Can The EVGA GeForce GTX 650 be used on my cpu

Solution
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.

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.

Thanks for the info but all i wanted to know was that PSU stands for Power supply Unit

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.
