does this motherboard support 6-pin psu

If it has at least one PCIe slot, it should accept any GPU with that interface. Your PSU, on the other hand has to have at least one 6, 6+2 or 8pin connector depending on what particular GPU requires and also has to be able to supply adequate power.
Is there a particular GPU you had in mind ?

The MB have one PCIE x16, in that slot you could put almost any modern graphic card and if the bios dont do any strange it will work.
The limitations will be that in most graphic cards you need external power i i would bet that the PSU is very narrow, the old 8800gt uses 105w of power, any card with that power or less will work, and also that the CPU and the x1 bus will bound a powerfull gpu.

My bet would be a gtx 950, that only needs 90w, if your PSU dont have a 6pin connector i would use a 2molex to 6 pin conversor, will only 90w it will draw very few power.

I was thinking about ATI RADEON AMD FireStream 9270 2 gb 256BIT DDR5 not sure if it will work though.

This is what it says about power requirements for that card:
Being a dual-slot card, the AMD FireStream 9270 draws power from 2x 6-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 160 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI. FireStream 9270 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCIe 2.0 x16 interface.
Got to make sure your PSU is up to snuff.
You can get better performance and features with many new GPUs, R7 260 from AMD or GTX750 from NV. They also draw much less power and need only one 6pin.

Three things:
- The 9270 is a card from the 2008, thats more than 8 years for a card i would never recomend it, well maybe if its free i could think about it.... but think that it could fail almost every day.
- It use a lot more power, 180w vs 105.
- Its very nearly on performance or even worse like the texture rate i dont will change it for that improvement.
