you cannot, because the motherboard and the graphics card has a different slot (imagine it like the baby toys, you can only use a triangle in the triangle slot and a square to the square slot)
Secondly, you should not. the Fx 5000 is a very old graphics card that count as weak today, and HD 7660D is a decent graphics "card"( it is in your processor) that can play most of the todays game on low/medium settings, you are not in a need in a graphics card, except if you have other needs, like multi monitor, high resolution and quality gaming, but they cost a fortune to build and loads of time to make them work

Is that FX5000 an AGP card? If so then you can't use it any more as new PC's don't have an AGP slot anymore.

It won't fit, AFAIK the FX5000 cards were only made for the AGP and PCI slots, besides the integrated core in your A10 5700 is several times more powerful than a FX5000.
