If this is your motherboard: http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=Motherboard&U=en-us0000220
And if this is your PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817161005

Then... 1) the motherboard will accept any PCIe X16 card available. 2) BUT the PSU is of extremely poor quality and is no where close to the 400W rating they gave it. I would put it more in the 250W range with a single 14 amp (+12V) rail.

As a result, the HD 7750 would be the fastest card I'd dare use with that PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600007797&IsNodeId=1&Description=hd%207750&name=GDDR5&Order=BESTMATCH
And even that may be pushing it somewhat. The HD 7750 is a 55W card maxed out. That...

And even that may be pushing it somewhat. The HD 7750 is a 55W card maxed out. That would draw ~4.6 amps from the +12V rail.

And yes, the old 2600 Pro would be even less demanding (and less powerful). But it would be a step up from the 7100 GS.
