Can you provide me with your Motherboard?
Also, for your Power Supply, I need to know how many cords of the 4-pin jacks it has, and 6-pin. Just look for cords going from you power supply that have 4 pins in it at the end, or 6 pins in it at the end (if it has 6 pins, 2 can be taken off, if needed..I can explain how to do this.)
If it only has one 4-pin, and your motherboard needs it..some High-End video cards require this 4-pin jack. Resulting in the video card not working, or your motherboard not working. Depending on which you hook it up to, of course :)
4-pin looks like this:
6-pin looks like this:
Would help me to find out what you can take ;D

Well, I've found a high-end gaming card, Your motherboard will most likely work with this. I've checked over every single feature and recommendation for this card, your computer seems to meet them all. ;D

For the power cable you get (upon buying the video card):
Insert the white cables into two of the same cables (RUNNING FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.)
