So i'm completely new to the computer world and have many questions about the upgrading process. Currently I have a Gateway DX4860-UB33P. Full list of specs here: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=DX4860-UB33P-FB-R.
I want to upgrade my video card to a Radeon HD 7870 (Exact one here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182044) that I think will work with my system but i'm not entirely sure. My question is will this setup work (assuming everything fits), or will it cause problems that will disrupt my entire rig in the future.

You should be fine tho I would definitely replace that "300W ATX power supply" as well.
