Can a 3.0 PCI Express go into a MSI 2A9C?

Can this GPU work with this motherboard?

Not positive on the mobo, is that of a HP desktop? If so it appears to have a PCI 16 slot so it should be OK, but make sure you have aPSU that can run the video card

Yes, it's 16, and how do I check my psu?

I currently have an old GT 320 1GB.

Have to look at the PSU and get model - should tell the wattage, will prob want a newer higher rated for your GPU

The 650 pulls 20 Watts more power than the 320.. I don't think you will have any problems

If this is an HP desktop, the PSU is prob marginal to begin with

Yeah, but don't you think they leave a little headroom for when the psu gets old and looses some power?
