I don't think you need to replace your motherboard; the new card will still work, it just won't be able to send information to you CPU as fast as it is capable of. I run my PCIe 3.0 cards on a PCIe 2.0 motherboard, and it still runs wonderfully; I doubt you'll really notice a difference at all.

Who said your CPU would get that hot and why do they think that? And did they mean Fahrenheit or Celsius?

It should work fine, but your power supply is only the bare minimum required for that card. You may want to upgrade that as well to make sure you have enough power for all of your devices; I would suggest getting a 550W PSU to give you some room to grow.

Also, since your motherboard only supports PCIe 2.0, you should know that the new video card, while it will function, will not be performing up to its full capability since it is a PCIe 3.0 card.
 
As long as you have a 6 pin PCI-e power connector from your PSU you should be okay. I would consider upgrading your PSU in the near future, but you might be fine with what you have, assuming you have a PCI-e power connector for the GPU.
 


To be on the safe side you should upgrade your PSU to something newer and more GPU friendly. I'm not saying your current PSU is bad, but when adding a dedicated GPU to the system, it's better to be safe than sorry.
If you were to use a GPU that didn't require a 6 pin PCI-e power connector, like the 7750 or something like it, you probably wouldn't need to upgrade the PSU. Since your asking about the GTX 650, I would consider getting a new PSU & the GPU, but that is up to you.
 
Yeah you might be fine, but do you currently have a 6 pin PCI-e power connector coming off your PSU right now??

Looks like this below:

It should, but there's no guarantee; that all depends on how much power your system as a whole requires to operate, and even if you told me every single individual part that you have installed, it's nearly impossible to say for sure if 400W would be enough to power it. There are too many factors to take into consideration that could affect it, and the margin of error is 0 since your PSU is the minimum required for that video card. Once you upgrade the PSU, you shouldn't have any problems, but your current PSU just might not be enough.
