Im building a PC. This is the motherboard I'm currently going with:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

It says:

- Combine the graphics capability of the AMD APU with an additional discrete graphics card.
- Support AMD Radeon HD 7670 / 7570 / 7470 graphics card
- Maximize system graphics potential with AMD Dual Graphics technology

My card will be radeon 7770.

Will my motherboard run my card?

Yes, it will support the HD 7770, but not in a Dual-Graphics mode.

Per the description on Newegg's page, dual-graphics mode means the discrete graphics card (Radeon HD7670/HD7570/HD7470) would work in conjunction with the processor's embedded graphics chipset to increase the performance. Which card you can use depends on which APU (processor) you install. Any other discrete graphics card will still work with the motherboard, just not in conjunction with the processor's embedded graphics.

You can run the 7770 (Or any card) but you can't crossfire (combine) it with.the APU GPU. If you're nut going to use the built in GPU buying an APU doesn't make sense

Thank you for your help wolf. I also noticed the proscessor has "Usb 3.0"

Does this mean I NEED a tower with a front panel usb 3.0 port?

You mean the motherboard supports USB 3.0. No, you are not required to get a case that has front panel USB 3.0, but if you want to make use of it, that would be a good idea.
