GT 1030 On my Motherboard

[nolove131]

Hello everyone, i need help. I wan't to buy GT 1030 GPU but i don't know if it will work on my motherboard.
My motherboard: MSI H55M-E33(MS-7636)
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130256

GPU: GT 1030
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137141

EDIT:

motherboard shows that there is 1 slot pci express 2.0 x16
but gt 1030 is PCI Express 3.0

so pci express 3.0 won't work on pci express 2.0? i don't understand..

PCi-e is forwards and backwards compatible. 3.0 cards will work on 2.0 slots and vice versa.

The GT 1030 works on up to PCIe 3.0, but PCIe is backwards compatible, it will work fine on PCIe 2.0 x16 or even PCIe 1.1

ok, thanks, i like this forum fast replies.
but one more thing: this is my old gpu "Gtx 260" and yesterday my computer screen started spreading green dots and lines, today i have this on my device manager: https://s17.postimg.org/8kvnym0lb/image.png so it means, that my old gpu totally dead?

one more thing: my old gtx 260 have these 2 pins https://s17.postimg.org/r0g4vwjtr/image.png
but on gt 1030 youtube videos i don't see any pins. this is normal? do my gpu will work without these pins?

The GTX 260 use more power than the pci-e port can deliver(~75w) so it requires extra power. The Gt1030 uses alot less power and can be powered by the port alone, hence no power connectors.
