Yes, 650W is fine provided that you will not want to SLI in the future. Read the last part of specifications:

What is the idea of upgrading your motherboard?

of course your motherboard is good enough for a GTX680. the quality of the motherboard only comes into play when if you want to overclock your CPU or if you are using multiple graphics cards.

IF you have a pci-e slot in you mobo , thats enough. GTX680 uses 195W. So don't panic when you see your electricity bill :p

That's only when he is gaming.
Besides, he can save much more power by using adaptive v-sync. There aren't many games that require the full power of a GTX680.

go for gtx670 it's on average only 5% slower than gtx680 and if you can find a card like asus GTX 670 DCII Cu TOP it's faster than reference gtx 680.

Your best options would be a Gigabyte Z77-DS3H or Asus P8Z77-V LX
