Yes it will work just fine.
They are backwards compatible.

sweet thanks time to give newegg more money

Yes, PCI-E is both backward and forward compatible.
Depends on what you are using the card for, you might want to get a 4650 GDDR3 or a 4670.

In that case, that card will be more than enough :toast:

From what I've heard, WoW isn't very demanding (although I've never tried it)

Actually WoW is really a jerk in that aspect.
It plays great in older Hardware, but it just overall sucks in newer hardware.
So I strongly recommand the OP to get a 4670 (GDDR4 is even better) because that outdated engine sucks a tone of bandwidth.

MSI vs XFX I would go with XFX. Had 2 MSI cards fail before and after a year and none of the XFX cards have ever even hinted at failure. My 250 still works well too and yeah that’s XFX.
