How to tell if a graphics card is compatible with a computer?

I bought an EVGA GTX 660 superclocked. I bought a computer that is coming in on Monday. I had to get the last one replaced because I ruined the motherboard somehow after placing the GPU into the slot.

I also have a 650W powersupply so it is fine. The motherboard I have is Gigabyte ga-b75m-d3h. Is all of that fine?

No worries about the PSU, it will do fine.

Everything is compatible with eachother? I'm a bit worried because I wrecked my last motherboard by either scratching it or ESD.

Everything is fine. I guarantee it.
