Will any of these GPUs be compactible with my mobo?

[Pro Defamation League]

My mobo: Gigabyte techonology G41MT-S2P ( I have a pretty old PC)
My CPU: Pentium Dual core CPU E5700 @ 3.00GHz ( Terrible, I know)


GPUs( That I want to buy, one of them, not both)
: ASUS GTX750-PHOC-1GD5
Gigabyte PCX GeForce GTX650 1GB DDR5 HDMI/2xDVI/VGA Overclock

( It probably won't work with either of them..but oh well, it's best to ask)

Yes, it has PCI-E slot so no problem.
GTX 750 is better and more powerful then GTX 650.

Are you 100% Sure? I am currently freaking out a bit, because I have always been playing games at like..30 fps on low, on low resolution... :3

Yes, GTX 750 gives you medium/high settings no problem with this CPU, it's not that ancient PC actually.

I don't see why it shouldn't work as long your MB has a PCI-E slot and the CPU is a dual-core.
I would also recommend the GTX 750, it has very low power draw and offers great great performance. That ASUS should be pretty silent as well.
(I have a GTX 750 Ti from MSI and is completly inaudible even on full spin)

The GTX 650 I would consider only if you get a really great deal, some shops are replacing those with the 750 and are cutting the prices of the GTX 650. Though it will have less performance and will require more watts to run.

I still have the box in my closet, lemme read for you:

Minimal system requirements:
PCI Express compliant motherboard with with one dual-width 16x graphics slot
Minimum of 400W or greater power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 20A)

Note that I have the MSI GTX 750 Ti OC Gaming, so the smaller ones should be okay even with a 350W PSU, as long is not some no-name one.

That's for GTX 750 Ti and 400W is overblown for it anyway, 300W is plenty.
GTX 750 takes only 55W of power, 300W PSU is fine for it.

MSI wrote that, not me You know, they assume the not geeky ones use those generic power supplies, so they rather write more wattage as is really needed.
I also run it on a Corsair PSU. Promised myself to not being skimpy on those after my EuroCase PSU went up in flames before my eyes. (damn czechs, they should keep making beer and not PSU's)

Also...since my current GPU needs a minimum of 300 wats(GT 520 lol), does that mean that I will have the pin connector that a 750 needs since it's a low power consumption card?

GTX 750 doesnt need any additional power cables, it takes all power from motherboard graphics card slot.

Neither the 750 or 750 Ti needs a 6 pin connector. Not even the big bulky dual fan ones. Though some have a slot fot it, in the case that somebody might overclock them and the 6pin cable will increase the stability. I think the only 750 Ti needing the 6pin was the superclocked from EVGA. No models from ASUS or MSI require it, the two brands which I most recommend due the extremly silent coolers.
Regarding the power draw your GT 520, the GTX 750/750Ti are the first models with the Maxwell architecture, where the main change is the extremly decreased power draw. While those cards will not break the performace charts (in some cases it might be even slower as the older 660 due the smaller 128bit memory) but in terms of performance per watt, this is a groundshaking achievement by nVidia. So is not surprising that it has even lower TDP as some older, much weaker cards.
For example the 750 Ti beats the formerly high-end GTX 480 in performance and the power draw is arround 60W compared 254W under load.

Just do some measurements if you want buy a dual slot version. They are really huge, especially if you are used to a tiny card like the 520. I lold for a hour when I opened the pack and spotted it's size, but luckily it has fit, though I curved the SATA cables due it.
