The card I'm going for is the: MSI R7770-PMD1GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card Sorry kind of copy pasted lol.Also here is a screencap of my motherboard specs. http://imgur.com/G7YT8t3 <---- better look of the picture (Click to zoom in) if someone could tell me if i'd be able to run this card with my motherboard it would greatly be appreciated. Also there only seems to be 4 pci slots on my mother board ;/ anyways thanks!

Keep in mind that the HD 7770 requires a minimum of a 430w PSU. I'd recommend 500w to be on the safe side. Hope your PSU is comfortable with that.
