Just now I recieved my i3-3220 with the ASUS P8H61-MX USB 3.0.
Since I won't be putting it into my rig today since i'm still recieving my case, I decided to try put my 5670 card into there and as worrying as it sounds, I fat it in until it clicked but it was wobbling and didn't stay in place properly.

Short and simple - Will my HD 7770 OC Sapphir Edition fit fine into it since it's an uATX size (Micro-ATX) board.

Thanks guys

All PCI-E slots are the same size unless they are x1, so yes any current graphics card will fit it. It's usually the case you need to check to see if it will support the graphics card. My graphics card wobbles, but only when i actually push it, they are very secure if they have clicked so don't worry

Thanks Phil, I was close to worrying but it supports the actual card itself it's just the issue that it wobbles after it has securely clicked. But i'm sure if all the pins touch when I put my card i'm using now, inside the slot, inside the case, then everything should work out fine. I have a tendency of becoming paranoid :D

They're made to support such weight. It probably only wobbles when you push it correct? and your PC will be stationary so there is nothing to worry about. The thing that worries me most is the heatsink, have you seen how big they can get?! haha.

Similar parts to mine to be honest. However i don't know how you expect to use it without a cpu ;) haha

Your case supports up to 400mm in length PCI expansions, so you'd need a pretty hefty card to not be able to fit in there

But in overall view, I shouldn't be worried about wobbling right? as long as the card's pins fit inside and click securely then I shoudn't be in the worry area. Oh and included I don't tend to kick my case by accident :D
