Yes, that does have a pci-express video slot. FYI, your motherboard is the MS-7366. Look between the pci express and pci slots.

It will 'probably work' however this motherboard only supports gen 1.0 PCIe which is ocassionaly incompatiable with PCIe 2. The minimum 'will work' is PCIe 1.1a. I would check with MSI prior to purchasing.

Secondly, JOsh, you need to ensure you have a suitable PSU before you upgrade your graphics card.
