Will this graphic card fit into my Motherboard?

[MaiN]

Hello.
I was looking for a new graphic card, and decided i would get NVidia 8800GT.
But i do not know if it fits into my Motherboard, will it?

For the Motherboard.
The wonderful people which had replied, said that it will. Now the question is, what one of these should i choose? Lowest price = best.

Yes, it should fit jus fine without any problems because of the PCI

[MaiN]

Yay! That's great! But isn't it rather big? Do you think it will fit inside the case? :P

[[ Prototype ]]

PCI-E x16 ? PCI Express 16 !

Your nVidia GeForce 8800GT will fit in.

Ok, good. ;P
Anyone got a guide to "putting it in"?
And also, what one of these should i buy? Hardware: Grafikkort: Søgeresultater - EDBpriser.dk

some quick steps
its not all the hard, also try to do this outside (not raining) and dont do it on a carpet (static electricity might/will kill parts in your computer/videocard)

1. uninstall your drivers for your old one
2. turn off computer and unplug it
3. open case and get a can of air ready (if you don clean your computer lots that is)
4. some video cards have a power cable going to them that are off the back part of that card - unplug it
5. on your case, you need to find a way to unattach the card (on the back part of the computer where you plug your monitor into
-> a) some have thumb screws on the out side of the case that lifts up a door so you can take the card out
-> b) you will need a screw driver to undo the 1 screw holding the metal bracket to the case - dont lost the screw, you still need it ;p
6. on the motherboard at the back end of the slot (closers to the middle of the MB) there will be a small lever (usually white) - press it down and the card will left out abit
7. take the card out gently trying only to grab the edges of the card - try not to touch the bottom of top of the card
8. do the rest of the septs backwards to put the card back in ;p
9. when you boot up your computer - go to the nvidia website and DL the newest drivers **Drivers - NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Download Drivers

all done ^^

I still need help, what one of these should i chose? Price matters. ;p

How to know if a graphics card is compatible: Find the PCI Express slot. On many PCs, there will be a few expansion slots on the motherboard. ... There are three versions of this slot, but they're backwards compatible, so a modern PCI Express 3.0 graphics card will work in a motherboard guru with a PCI Express x16 2.0 slot.
