Hi,

 

The PSU you're thinking of buying should work fine with your Motherboard.  The only thing I would suggest checking, as with any upgrade, is that the PSU and the new Graphics Card will physically fit ok inside the Tower - always best to check this with a ruler just to make sure :smileyhappy:

 

Best wishes,
