the bus is fine, even if it were running in X8 or X16 mode.

A current i3 4130 is better then your CPU, and I do not place bets on your CPU that it is "sufficient enough". Since you have these cards, I would suggest you get a new CPU/Motherboard and also power supply.

i am powering the card with a dedicated power supply which can handle up to 600w it has one pcie 6 pin connector and i use dual molex to 8pin connecter for the 8pin and i host the psu outside of the case , whine a 500w psu is powering the rest of my system . i dont know about the wattage per rail and all that stuff

i am not a resourceful guy , i am saving money for new cpu mboard ram and psu , but i think its going take a while :( , thx any way you been most helpful . i don't think its the psu because it has nothing els connected to it except the gcard , the recommended psu for this card is a 750 watt psu , which they might have recommended considering the full load all components in the system connected to a 750watt psu but here the card has a 600watt psu just for itself ???
