The MB should have the pcie 3.0X16, because the PC has i5-6400. But keep in mind, 1) the OEM PC will have the lower wattage PSU, you need to buy other PSU. 2) Make sure the PC will support the low profile GPU or regular size GPU, or even the single slot or dual-slot GPU too. 3) Check the linker for more info for adding the non-OEM GPU. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/ans...t-graphics-card-into-a-certified-windows-8-pc

If this is your PC, which comes with 180W PSU https://www.newegg.com/lenovo-ideacentre-300-20ish-student-home-office/p/N82E16883798810 I hope you can use that PSU to power up the whole PC with gtx1650 ( I know even the gtx1650 does not need either the 6 or 8 pin power cable). And good luck.

Such a small OEM PSU is made precisely to work with the GPU it came with. You need a new PSU. You may get it running in the short-term, but it's highly risky; you may end up replacing your new GPU.
