Does a GTX 460 / 550 Ti is compatible with ASUS P5KPL AM-2 and P5KPL AM-SE mobo?

Hi, so after looking on my local computer store, i found a GTX 550 Ti that costs about $49.12, i'm planning to save money to buy it, also my brother, which is also planning to buy a GTX 460 that costs $38, and has the similar motherboard as me (ASUS P5KPL AM-SE) my motivation to buy the 550 Ti is after i watched a few gameplay benchmarks on some games, i.e GTA V. I'm pretty sure it's a good graphics card, so i decided to save money for it. Now, i just realised that my mobo is pretty old (ASUS P5KPL-AM 2) and GTX 550 Ti and 460 is a pretty modern video card. Now i want to ask, does the 550 Ti 1GB DDR5/192Bit and the 460 768MB/192bit will be compatible with the following specs?

My specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2,66 GHz
500w PSU
Corsair 4GB DDR2 RAM
GTX 550 Ti 1GB DDR5 (the GPU i'm planning to buy, currently my GPU is Radeon HD 5850)
ASUS P5KPL AM-2 Mobo

My brother's specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3 GHz
500w PSU
Kingston 4GB DDR2 RAM
GTX 460 768MB DDR5 (the GPU my brother is planning to buy, his current GPU is GT 210)
ASUS P5KPL-AM SE

I'm sorry if my explanation is not detailed or confusing, i'm not a computer expert... Thanks.

As long as you have a PCI-e slot, then it works.

@okcnaline

Are you sure?

 

[okcnaline]

Yes. Oh, and 500W isn't going to be enough. GTX 460 and GTX 550 Ti is power hungry. Really power hungry.

@okcnaline

Oh alright, so should i get a 700w PSU?

 

[okcnaline]

A high quality 650W could do.
