Yeah, it is most likely fine.

I also want to no, will this card run on my TA790gx, biostar?

Nope, those two should do very nicely with each other (in other words, there should not be any major one sided bottlenecks). Enjoy your new system.

That's a 790GX mobo, right? The only requirement is PCI-E, which that definitely has, so it should be fine. A bigger requirement that many often overlook is the PSU. What PSU do you have now?

I'm pretty sure its a 600

What brand? It probably should be fine, especially if it is a decent or good brand.
