I don't know much about building PCs, but I was wanting to get this graphics card for my computer so that it could run higher end games: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487027&leaderboard=1 (also is this a decent card for gaming?)

These are my specs, let me know if you need more info, 'cause I honestly don't know what info you need:

Yep that is a PCI Express video card and you have a PCI Express slot in your motherboard. Only limitation is does your machine have a 300W + power supply which I bet it does.
