So i was planning on purchasing a new graphics card and i was wondering if it would be compatible with my motherboard.

The card I'm going for is the: MSI R7770-PMD1GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Sorry kind of copy pasted lol.Also here is a screencap of my motherboard specs.

if someone could tell me if i'd be able to run this card with my motherboard it would greatly be appreciated. :p 

Also there only seems to be 4 pci slots on my mother board ;/
anyways thanks!

It appears you already have a PCI-Ex16 card installed. You should be able to remove that and install the HD7770 without issue. It's compatible.

The card will run fine with your Motherboard's PCI-E x16 slot, which is a version 2.0 slot.

Keep in mind that the HD 7770 requires a minimum of a 430w PSU. I'd recommend 500w to be on the safe side.

Hope your PSU is comfortable with that.

I have been running the 7770 on my stock 250 watt psu for over a year. What can I say, I'm a daring guy. Its a great card. You will be happy with it. Good luck!
