So I'm using a77z-g43 MSI motherboard with intel i5 

I'm wondering my pcie slot for graphics is on the right looking down the can case 

Does that mean my graphics card has to go in up side down? 

In a normal case, if you install a videocard into your motherboard, the fans for the videocard are pointing downwards.

Example:

I didn't know that I always thought it would go fans up 😂 so any graphics card will fit?  The board ? And will I need to upgrade from 850w PSU?

It's one of the anomolies in PC building.. Why make the pretty side (fans) point downwards!?!? 🤔🤔🤔 It's just their design I guess.

Yup, any videocard will fit.

What specific 850W PSU do you have?

Artic blue 850w

A 30 GBP PSU with no reviews available/little information..? I can't believe that is of any quality.
