Hi i have an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO and i want to upgrade to a Nvidia Geforce gtx 680. But my computer only have PCI-E 2.0. And there is one more. I have an 200 watt psu. I think i must have like 600 watt or sometinhg. But can i run a Nvidia Geforce gtx 680 on a PCI-E 2.0?

All the PCI-E 3.0 cards are backwards compatible to 1.0 and 2.0... The performance decrease is so little it`s not even debatable... By all means get your 680, it`s a nice card and you`ll get some nice gaming out of your system!

But yes you have to upgrade that PSU, just go for a nice 550w and you`ll be fine, Seasoninc, EVGA, Corsair... Those are very good PSU brands!
