Choosing a graphics card for my HP P6110UK

[MartySainte]

My question is: would I be able to run the Sapphire HD6670 2GB DDR3 on my system, I do not fully understand the difference between a 2.0 and a 2.1 PCI-E, I do know that as it is conected to the motherboard it will not draw the 400W power as advertized on the box, it would draw about 180 - 250 at a time, my question is will my motherboard accept the actual card.[LEFT]

The motherboard you listed [Motherboard Specifications, M2N68-LA (Narra] will support any PCIe x16 card. The differences between 2.0 and 2.1 can be ignored for the most part. PCIe card slots have been designed to be both forward and backward compatible with different versions. The only thing to consider is if you want PCIe 2.1 specifications, both the card and card slot must support 2.1 specifications.
