1st thing to make sure when getting new GPU is the power usage of your new GPU. You must make sure that your PSU can power your new GPU, else-ways you'll experience random restarts during gaming if PSU can't deliver enough power to your GPU.

2nd thing to make sure is if your PSU has the necessary power connectors to power your GPU. Most GPUs use 6-pin or 8-pin power connector. While some doesn't need any power connector (usually GPUs with power draw of 75W and less) and some high-end GPUs can use two power connectors.

3rd thing to watch out is the GPU length. Many full size GPUs are far too long for smaller cases. Here you must look up the maximum allowed GPU length that your PC case supports.
