I was planning to buy that graphics card but would it fit in my case?

Yes, it should, but it is a little bit longer and may make your case a little bit tighter. You may need to upgrade that PSU down the road as well.

The GTX760 isn't quite what I'm looking for, I'm looking for something more powerful, thanks for the suggestion!
