Hello there!
(Please excuse my poor English)
I'm recently shopping for a new graphic card to replace my dinosaur-old ATI Radeon HD 3400.
My current candidate is :
http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6770/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6770-overview.aspx#2
(Radeon HD 6770 XFX Radeon HD 6770 (HD-677X-ZNFC) 1024MB PCIe x16 Gen 2.1 Eyefinity 6 Edition)
I would like to make the purchase soon but I want to 100% sure is it compatible with my computer, this is the first time I'm buying a graphic card so I'm pretty new at this and don't want to mess anything up, I would be really grateful if you guy help me out on this.
==============
My PC specs:
AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor
2.2 GHz
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition Service Pack 2 (build 6002), 64-bit
ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series (doesn't matter right?)
6.00 GB RAM
=============
For the requirement I noticed 2 pretty important thing:
*PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard
*450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for AMD CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode).
I'm not too sure about the above so I opened up my computer and checked, I think I have the
16 slot for the graphic card, but it look a bit cramped so I don't know if it'll fit, as for the 6 pin PCI express I could't find any that look like the picture I googled, I took a couple of pic of the inside, please have a look -
(yes it pretty dusty I'm cleaning it as we speak!)

If the worst case that the card I choose is not compatible, could you guy recommend one for me ? ATI and around $140 budget.
I REALLY need to upgrade because I could barely use it for most real time 3D application, and games modern FPS game, ect. :\
Thank you everyone for your help and time in advance. : )
(If you guys need additional picture or spec/information please let me know)
