Yes, it uses the ATX standard which means it's compatible with all standard PC parts. If you PC users non-standard parts though, now's the time to find out. Did you finish that PCpartPicker list?

A picture wouldn't hurt in its place on the list.

What CPU do you have?

 

Also,... i see you need a new PSU but this card is generally faster and would run fine on a cheap 500W PSU...it's a bit more expensive.

Looks like I'm not able to access that, you want this instead:

 

But still, I can see from the picture that everything is in order to use the Corsair CXM I listed earlier. Don't forget, a good PSU is a good investment, you want something with good quality in a system you care about.

The parts list was entered earlier, it's an FX quad core. If OP gets a GPU of any good value, it'll be bottlenecked for sure, but the ideal next upgrade would be a cheap Ryzen processor when 3rd gen hits.

That's my go to recommendation for a "cheap" but good power supply. As far as PSUs go, it's rather hard to skimp on the price tag and still get quality, so as far as that unit is priced, I find it's one of the best valued units you can get for a budget system. It ranks tier B on our tier list, which is pretty solid.

you sure the 570 8GB will work with that FX? or were you talking about the 4GB card?

[aezakmi]

ps: OP whoever paid 500 dollars for that got seriously ripped off.

Why wouldn't the 8GB work? It's the same story with both, they'll be bottlenecked now but later with a good CPU they'll do fine.

Ok, so if i were to get this i would need this https://www.ebay.com/p/Dual-4-Pin-Molex-to-8-Pin-Pci-e-Express-Video-Card-Adapter-Converter-Power-Cable/1788741513?iid=123741050640&chn=ps   ?

That is the one, yes.

 

As for the others who are warning you of your cheap unbranded GPU, they are totally correct in doing so. But, I (for quite a long time), used a lower wattage unbranded PSU I bought from Goodwill to power my system and has no issues. That PSU saw use with an i7-920 (on an X58 motherboard), an i5-2300, and an FX-6100. The latter two with a very heavily overclocked GTS 450, and RX580 at differing points.

 

Never had an issue. Smart? No. Effective? Yes.
