Well as far as the motherboard goes you can use any graphics card.

The real question is 1) What CPU do you have and 2) How powerful if your Power Supply and does it have PCIe Power Connectors.

According Asus that board only does 667 MHZ which is slow to today standards but won't affect the graphics card but can affect the game.

What are you full specs? Also you case can play a role in how long a GPU can be as well.

The newest cards on the market will work, but frankly I'd look into upgrading the rest of your platform soon afterwards or the GPU performance might be held back by your older hardware. Be sure to look at power requirements as well.

The CPU is decent enough for some gaming. I had a E4600 Overclocked from 2.4 to 3.0 and it ran almost all my games (Minus Crysis 3) Great. Only have 4-6 Gigs of ram at the time and a GTX 260. Now i got 8 Gigs DDR2 800 Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83 OCed to 3.5 and a GTX 480 and i can play Crysis 3 on medium at 1920x1200 no issues.

now most video cards require at least 500 watts. now its not just the PSU though. It also depends on other things like if you have a bunch of hard drives, other addin cards ect. But for the most part everything minus the GPU usually don't take up more than 200 Watts or so.

I would get a better PSU though. Get like a nice 750W that you can use on future builds, and then get a nice video card. Are you looking to get the 650 Ti or replace it?

i understand , i was add 750 Ti it had a Maxwell so 750 Ti just need a little watt , do u think i better select 650 Ti or i select 750 Ti ? . i fear it if i choose 750 Ti but it's can't add to my Mobo so i confused between 650 Ti or 750 Ti, 750 Ti required 300 watt psu and 650 ti need 400 watt . or should i select 750 Ti ? with my slot mobo ?

Go with the 750 Ti. More powerful card that uses less power. Your PC will take it no problem
