Welcome to tsf. The motherboard should support the card fine. But I would like you to post the make and model of the psu and you might aswell post the rest of your specs. Cpu , ram , ect...

Yea thats definitely a no name psu, I would recommend you upgrade the psu aswell to a quality 450w or more. Something from antec or thermaltake should be good.
