Ok I found this info on my mobo.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131397 I'm still a little confused as far as this being a pci express 2.1 video card, vs a pci express 2.0 or just pci express. does that make a difference? and i did a voltage test on what kind of psu i need it suggests a 430w
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153023 should this be fine? Thanks
