Main thing in fitting the graphics card is the length of that. The graphics card that you want have length 30.5 cm. Open your case and measure the distance from bank panel to hard drive bays. If that enough then the graphics card will fit and if not then it will not fit. :) width and height are always fit.

So if it doesn't fit I need to buy a new case and put ALL the stuff and components that were in the old case and put it in the new case?

Like ScienceMathsLover said, you should measure the inside of your case first and compare it to the graphics card's length to be sure. If it doesn't fit, you should check into another model of that same card.

The thing is, you seem to have a pre-built PC and you are going to need to change the power supply if the computer you have is the one you linked. The power supply on that computer is a no brand 460w PSU and it won't be enough if you upgrade your graphics card.

Well thanks for the replies but my case is too small, the PSU is too bad etc. So I decided to just buy the parts and build a PC.
