With that low-end PSU, I'd be hesitant to recommend any graphics card that draws more current than the one you have now. With that in mind, look into the HD 7750 line: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=E...
...or this particular GTX 650: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
(there's also a 2GB version available)

Keep in mind too, these are full size cards. I'm not familiar with that case. So if it is a slim-line, let me know.

What resolution is your monitor?

No problem with that card and the MB. It will cover the adjacent PCI slot, of course. But that is normal. The thing I was referring to was the size of your case. If it is a normal tower/mid tower case, no problem. If it is a slim line case, you will need a low-profile card.

aH RIGHT I FORGOT to answer that part sorry. But Its unfortunatly a kinda slim case. But im pretty sure it will fit anyways. otherwise ill biuld my own case :)  All for my beloved little brother :) 

Thank you for you input and help now i know Toms hardware is where i get help from now on! I used a swedish forumstyle site named Sweclockers.se but they didnt answer + Everyone EVERYONE had their own oppinon and answered in ways that Ive could never understand. And i Made it clear that im not good with GFX and this kind of PC stuff. But still they said like " I would go for 660" an another guy sya Ill go for the 589GT" etc Random numbers did u use there for the example hehe.

Anyways thanks for help is there anyway i can like commend you and tell your good or like promote ur profile or in someway something like that

Thanks. No need to do a thing. But it is important you know whether your case will accept a full sized card before you buy it. If the case is a slim line style, it will have expansion slot openings around 3". Full size expansion slots are about 4 1/2". (inches to metric conversion is up to you ;-))

These are nice "low profile" cards for slim line cases: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=E...
