Hello i recently bought this computer
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BF9MVIE/ref=ox_sc_a...

i want to upgrade the graphics card, i have narrowed my choice down to http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphic...
will it fit into my motherboard?
if someone could tell me if it would that would be great and if it cannot, what graphics card of equal performance/price would be good for it?

you will need a new power supply. "Minimum of a 600 Watt power supply" from EVGA website.

99% of the time you don't have to worry about a GPU fitting your motherboard. You have to worry about it fitting your case. That 7750 card is only 8" long. The 770 is 10" long. Judging by the pics on the amazon site, I'd say it won't fit. However the pictures on item's page may be of a box with a different GPU. Did the case come with a manual? You might find the max length GPU supported in there somewhere.

Edit: drtoast is right: you need [card length] + [.5 to 1 inches] since the 6 pin power cables are going to jut straight out the back.
Edit2: actually the two 6 pin sockets face away from the PCB, which means you don't need the extra clearance. Dang I want that card.

It will fit the motherboard, Thats almost never a problem, You need to check how much space is in the case. That's the limiting factor, you will need about 10.5 inches length of clearance.

Ninja's they are everywhere ;)
