Your motherboard (like most motherboards) has a PCIe X16 slot which is required for a GPU like the RX 580.
The most important requirement is the PSU, which should provide power connectors and deliver enough power for the RX 580.
What's your PSU model?

Thank you very much for your answer..i have a corsair 550watt with 8pin connector for the graphic card which i think will be ok

That board can run that GPU no problem. Your main issue is the fact thats a low end AM3+ board so even the best processor you can get for it is a handicap for that GPU.

thank you very much for your help!

That board apparently does not have UEFI support. Does the text in the BIOS look like the old DOS style text, or is it a graphical interface?

If an old DOS style, no RX and most R9 cards won't work.

If it's a GUI, then maybe. RX cards (and most R9 cards) don't support VESA mode 103, and thus likely won't work. My only experience running into this problem though was with an old Dell XPS 8300. I can't speak specifically to your particular motherboard, but I suspect it might be an issue.

hello and thank you for your answer..yes this i was afraid too but i contact msi and they told me that i won't have any problem with bios and the card will run normal

If they told you that, keep the email where they said so, just in case. Also, I would probably suggest updating to the latest BIOS for that board before installing the new card.

This info is not correct at all. The only time you see that UEFI type issue is with some prebuilts from HP and Dell. R9 and RX cards have no issue on legacy Bioses. I ran an RX 480 on an AMD board older than the one he has with 0 issues.

Nvidia cards are the ones that often have issues with non UEFI BIOSes, and only some.
