Your pc will run it, whether or not it’s compatible with your pc is another question. Make sure that your motherboard will support it.

since ur motherboard have a pci-e2.0×16 slot u wont have any problem running the 9800gx2 since it uses the pci-e2.0×16 … but u gotta check ur power supply if it have the 6-pin requied to power up this ge-force since the new ones have to be connected directly to the psu

We can’t answer this because you didn’t list two important things, your power supply and it’s amp rating on the 12v rails. Most uber cards require power that most prebuilt systems can’t power due to the power supply on the given system, when you run a sli, crossfire, or x2 graphics card you’re looking at needing a high performance power supply that can provide clean power on the 12v rail. Another consideration is if your case can handle such a card due to their length and thickness may interfere with other components such as sata cable routing, adjacent cards, and even chipset heatsinks and fans. I would recommend joining a computer forum and having a digital camera ready to snap a few pics to post so many of the members may guide you with their advice and suggestions of what may be best for your budget, the card you mention may not be the best bang for the buck at this time so consider this as well.

the only issue you would have is whether or not your power supply has the correct power connector for the video card. Older systems require an adapter cable. Your system sounds really recent however. Something else to consider is an issue i encountered on my own system. I have 2 pci slots and a double-wide video card blocks one of them and i use them both. I had to get slot relocating ribbon cables.
