Will a GTX 650 fit in my case?

Well first off there are much better cards you can get for the price. Also you will need a PSU upgrade, since the PSUs that come with prebuilts are not meant for an additional graphics card. A 430W psu would do.

Do you mind posting the rest of the specs?

For $150 you could get a 750ti for a low power consumption card, or a R7 265.

I could recommend a card if you tell me which cpu you are using so that there would be no bottleneck.

The 270 is a much more powerful card. Also you'd be surprised how big of a card can fit in a prebuilt case, I fit a full sized 9800GTX+ in an old Acer Veriton case. If you want to see the pics of it check out my post here:

I'll check to see if the 270 can fit in your case by looking at the dimensions in the meantime.

It might, like my earlier post said, you'll need to measure your case's dimensions and check.

Also the 270 performs better than the 650ti boost and it also should be cheaper

Here's just one benchmark for bf4

Well ultimately the choice is up to you, but take a look at my pc before you buy it. The 9800GTX+ is bigger than the R9 270 and it fits in an acer prebuilt case:
