I am building a budget pc i bought a ASROCK fm2a88m-hd+ motherboard, a Corsair Graphite Series 230T CC-9011038-WW Mid Tower Case 4x 3.5" / 3x 5.25" Bays, 7x Expansion Slots, 6x Fan Slots, Orange case.

I have a pc with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 graphics card in it and was wondering if i could save some moeny and put it in this rig will it becompatible? if not i will have to buy a new one. If you need power supply info i have corsair cx 600

Can you have a link just so i can make sure? ^_^

Your GeForce GTX 660 is a PCI-E card. Your MB supports PCI-E so, it's compatible. Your MB also supports PCIe 3.0 x16 so it is fully compatible. Please read the specifications for your equipment on their respective home pages.

Rule of thumb: noobs CANNOT buy incompatible graphic cards by accident, and I don't think they could even if they tried, because it's such a specialized thing to find a non-PCIe graphics card. It's not like buying a CPU for a socket you don't have, or buying DDR2 instead of DDR3 or something like that.

Expansions cards (which graphics cards are) will fit pretty much anywhere, just as long the computer isn't like 8+ years old, where you will probably not be able to find a graphic card on sale that fits on those old AGP slots.
