PCI-E is a graphics standard. All PCI-Ex16 graphic cards will physically fit within all PCI-Ex16 motherboard expansion slots. There are several versions of the PCI-E design. The current version is PCI-E 3.0. Both of the cards you listed are PCI-E 2.0. This is a non-issue (I only mention it because it often comes up) as the PCI-E standard is backwards compatible with earlier versions of itself. A PCI-E 1.0 card will work in a PCI-E 3.0 graphics card slot and vice versa.
