As long as it's PCI-E x16 it will fit. GDDR5 is the type of memory the GPU uses. Make sure your power supply has a 6-pin PCI-E connector. Also measure your case.

 

 

Here's a demonstration of the performance drop in PCI-E Generations.

will be compatible. Gddr5 is just the speed of the memory on the card its the average for most video cards.

First of all if you are new to pc building i reccomend you put your buget and your location in so experienced pc builders (including myself ) Can make you a configuration that you can use.

 

It'll be compatible but please dont get that card it's an older generation and if you post your buget i'll be happy to assist you in another card/config ;)

Well my budget is something like 800 euros, and in finland these components are little bit more expensive than america or something:D
