Can't really speak to faults with so few reviews on any of the 3 zotacs for 650's at newegg (zero reviews for the 650ti). I get nothing from amazon search either. I'm not saying they make bad products, just that I prefer a little more data...

Yes your motherboard will support any of those graphics cards. However you need to make sure that your CPU, RAM and other components will work well with it too. That includes having enough of a power supply for it too.

You can stick any PCIE gpu in that board (your board says PCIE3.0, assuming your pick fits in your system that is), more importantly can your PSU support it. Give the model# and we can answer that for the most part, if you can't. Everything should be smooth if you have the juice needed and connect the plug noted below:

up to 150W - 1 additional 6 pin PCIe power required

I'd rather pick EVGA or something based on reviews but I see you have few choices at that shop you quoted so not sure you can just buy from newegg or amazon easily from where you are (India?) without getting killed on some kind of tax or shipping. It's not a bad purchase, just saying it's not a huge seller it seems at any place I look. PSU is fine for what you're saying is in this PC and room to grow some later. Can you purchase elsewhere to get different brands? Newegg/amazon out of the question?

Zotac clearly has some fans around the world. I think they are a bigger player outside usa. More power to you :) Like I said, I have no bad data on zotac. I was out of selling lots of PC's after they hit in 2006 (don't build near as much today as when I had a pc biz) so I haven't sold a ton of them like most of the other brands, but they look pretty solid and I like that they seem fairly aimed at gaming (they have game tournaments etc IIRC). I'm looking forward to zotac's next mini boxes with 14nm cpu's and 20nm gpu's myself ;) Seeing your reviews, I wouldn't worry much :) There are quite a few comments in there that are more than just a "vote" so to speak, and they're laying out what they like about it. 4.8/5 stars isn't bad either :)
