GOAL: I want to update my current graphics card from an EVGA 8800gts to an EVGA GTX 26 and I am not sure if it is possible with my mobo.

Here is the graphics card I want:

Here is my current mobo:

So would I be able to put this graphics card in my rig? I would like to know soon because I really REEHEHEALLY want to upgrade soon.

Thanks for the help.

Its not a question whether the mobo will work, its a question if it will fit inside your case. But there is little use, the 260 isn't that big of an upgrade from a 8800 GTS, it should be handling well now. I would wait for GTX 470/480, and then decide upon that or the 5870 if it becomes cheaper.
