@Scruffyo2: Yes, those are the slots as seen from the outside of the PC.

The top slot in the picture is what it looks like on the inside:

The card will take the slot your current GPU is in and probably the one below it so it'll fit just fine.

Well, I personally would go for a 750 for ~$20 more. If you go for a higher card than that (760+), I would like to see the specs on your PSU (brand, model number, etc.). But you should be fine with a 650 or 750 with that PSU as it doesn't require additional power (they only get power from the motherboard).

The GTX 750 says it's PCI-E i don't think i have that though
 


You have PCI-E, your current GPU uses it (revision doesn't matter): http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-530-oem/specifications
