Yesterday i used this site to know what PSU and Graphics card to get for my computer to run max settings in games. And i decided to get GTX 760 but i'm not sure if it might be too big for my case it's an Asus M51AC also i would like to know how do i check if my motherboard has PCI-e x 16 i saw someone on the internet saying its a blue slot but i didn't see one of those in my motherboard

Spec list (i'm not sure if this is needed for this problem but i'll put it here just in case it's needed)

Absolutely. You should have no problem fitting a gtx 760 in your case. Additionally, you Motherboard is compatible with gtx 760.
