I would like to say in advanced I'm sorry if I started this thread in the incorrect place; I'm new to these forums!

I'm looking to get a new graphics card. Radeon R9 270 OC 2GB GDDR5 in replace of my current graphics card, Radeon HD 7750 1GB . I was curious if this will be a good upgrade to my system and how to tell if it will be compatible with my motherboard? ASUS M5A78L-M LX I have a 500W power supply in addition to 8GB of RAM. I hope I was concise in my wording. Thank you in advanced for any help!
