Need to know if my motherboard will support the upgrades that I wish to purchase.

I want to upgrade to a better graphics card, this was the card I had in mind if possible http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814125496

I know the graphics card will fit in my current case, but not sure if the rest of my computer will handle the upgrade so came to the best place to ask. Also I believe that I will need a second 6 pin power connector if someone could link me to one of those.
 
Solution
Everything looks good to me. PCIe 2.0 x16 slot. CPU is a bit older but should be plenty fast for a 270x. PSU is a Tier 2A PSU with plenty of juice. I'd say you're fine so long as it fits physically in the case.
