Greetings everyone, im intending to buy a new graphic card which will be Nvidia 770GTX, im concerned about 3things power pins and motherboard compatibility, it says on nvidia website that i need 1x8pin and 1x6pin a minimum of 600watts and the card is PCIe3.0, but as looking up on my PSU specs and motherboard there is no 8pins and it's 500watts, as everyone knows nvidia ask for more power as minimum as it needs,and my mother board supports PCIe2.0 would the PCI actually matters if 2.0 or 3.0? link of my motherboard http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H67/

those are the specs of my PSU as stated on the main website:

ATX12V v2.20
Ultra Quiet 12cm fan (less than 25dBA)
500Watt
Active PFC (Power Factor Correction)
85% efficiency
All cords protected plus extra EZ-Plug & SATA
Internal Connectors:
1x 20+4 pin ATX
2x 6pin (PCI-Express SLI /CrossFireX)
1x 12v 4pin
2x 4pin Floppy
4x SATA power
6x 4pin drive power
+12v Dual-rail design: +12v1 /16A, +12v2 /15A
Color Retail Box, w/ Power Cord (German)

specs in case:
core i 5 sandy bridge 2500
2sticks of 4gig ddr3 rams 1333
GTX 560
1TB western digital Green 7200 rpm

It will run a gtx 770. But it will be stressed, don't let it get to hot and it will be fine. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story3&reid=84 Yes you can still run a PCIe 3.0 card in a PCIe 2.0 slot. At a very very small fps loss. You will need to get an adapter to convert something like a molex and a 6 pin to an 8 pin. The cards do not actually consume close to what nvidia reccomends it is much less.

Personally I would go with the recommended spec that Nvidia gives. But it would help to know the make/model of your PSU because some off brand PSU can't even hit the max out put they claim without blowing up. If it is a good quality PSU from say Corsair Antec XFX PC Power & Cooling or such you might be OK.

As far as your motherboard you will be just fine with PCI-E 2.0.
