I`ve decided to save up this Christmas for a 770 and a new power supply to run said card, I am a total noob at this stuff, so bare with me.

-Will everything fit inside of my rig?
-Do I have the corrects "slots" in which to use the card with (PCIE or something? :p )
-Can you guys also recommend a power supply to use said Graphics Card?

I will provide some links of my card, and rig specs.

Either this 770:

OR this one

Here is my rig specs current motherboard, everything).

P.S. I would prefer a power supply under $70

-Thanks in Advance guys!<3

*EDIT: I just want to know if a new 670 or 770 or 760 is compatible with this board....

According to the model give, your system is a MicroATX board and therefore it's using a MicroATX case. Depending on how HP manufacture that case for the model that you have, there is a possibility, it may not allow you to install long length video cards. I tried to find a picture online, but was not able to do so. See if you can measure the length, starting where the slot is and then ending towards the front of the case. If there is anything blocking in its path, then you will not be able to install any of the cards you've picked.
For graphic card, your best option would either be a Asus GTX 760 mini, but they're no where to be found.
The other would be MSI's GTX 760 for ITX. These fit into a ITX case, so it will definitely fit with your system.

Thank you for responding so quickly :) . I just wanted to ask what would be considered, clocking the path? I have some pictures here. ALSO the case itself is definitely big enough to house the card. http://gyazo.com/0449fecc88f4fdaee82fd0306453bd0b
The biggest problem I can see is that whatever I card I get, will interfere with the RAM placement, as they are only about 1-2 inches apart, and might be on just enough of the same angle, to not be able to insert the graphics card.

The card will not interfere with the ram! It passes just above them, pretty much a std design for motherboards. And yes I did look up pictures of your model to see if the card would fit.
