You'll need a new PSU, id recommend a different motherboard aswell.

well i think in the future your going to want to upgrade the CPU as that's also a major part. And this motherboard only supports FM1 sockets.

Get a better PSU, like this: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And you'll be able to run the GPU. Of course a new motherboard and CPU would be good, but this is a good start.

Don't bother with the motherboard until you want to upgrade the CPU. It will do everything you need and changing the board introduces a lot of software issues with Windows.
