PCI-Express,

Meaning that it will fit on the motherboard, you will just need to make sure your case have the space to the gpu, but the motherboard is compatible.

BUt why are you going with a 9500GT? what CPU are you going with? if you are not into gaming maybe the internal CPU will behave good enough for you, and you may not even need to buy a 9500gt.

unless you already have it. if that is the case, than yes it will be a nice fit.

This isn't a gameing computer. The 9500GT is what I own for now, and was afraid it will burn itself as it happened before with other motherboard and other graphic processor.
Which Graphic processor will you recomend buying? or in other words, which can fit my motherboard.
I have Intel Core i5 3550 Quad Core Processor LGA1155.

Thank you very much)).

Your mobo is bigger than your gpu. It will fit as ricardois said.

But why a 9500gt with a z77 mobo?

Any high-end graphic card will fit in your mobo. What is your budget?

But if you are not gaming, no need to buy a graphic card. Totally waste of money.

well if that isn't a gaming computer you are ok for now if you already have that GPU.

If you wan't to buy something better just say what is your Budget limit and we can recommend you another GPU for the budget you want to spend on a GPU.

9500gt is what left from an old computer. The computer wasn't ment for gaming, but I do would like to upgrade it a bit, not to high.
My budget is 50-150usd

No need to buy a new gpu if you are not gaming. Use the old one.
