Are these video cards compatible with my motherboard? Which would you recommend?

I need to purchase a new video card. My old one asploded and all I have is an old 9400 GT.



I've been looking at the following models:



ASUS ENGTS450 DirectCU TOP/DI/1GD5 GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

and



EVGA 768-P3-1360-TR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card



http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…



I have an ASUS P50 Deluxe motherboard. It's an ACPI-X86 based PC, apparently. I think it's compatible, as it has the right slot for a PCI-E card, but the motherboard I knew got fried in the same accident that ruined my video card, so this one is just a replacement. I don't have the manual or anything.



Will these cards be compatible with my motherboard or do I need to buy a new one? (I wouldn't mind getting a new motherboard anyways) Which card would you recommend?|||The 460 is a lot better for the money. Need more info on the mobo to see if it's compatible. What's the actual name? If it has a Pcie 2.0 x16 slot it should work.



Also, /g/?|||As long as that mother board has a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot you should be good to go.
