Graphics card

no you do not, most new graphics card use a pci express slot so as long as your board has that then you are fine
 
You have a PCI-E x16 port which is great, but I see it's a MicroATX; does this mean your computer case is also MicroATX? In other words, is your case titchy? If so, then you'll probably (almost certainly) be limited to a half-height graphics card. Power is of course something to take into account, and more so if your computer is a titchy one, because some of those types (Flex, I believe they're called) tend to have unusual PSUs which are difficult to get ahold of, let alone with a decent wattage. 'n no, you're safe; RAM and VRAM are totally different, in terms of compatibility (I've certainly never heard of, seen, or experienced any such issues) and so you could get a GPU with GDDR5, if you wanted.

If you're after further help, it would be good to post your PSU, case, budget, what you'll be using the GPU for, and how fussed you are about FPS.
 
You'll be talking anything from about three inches long to 11 inches long.

Also from around £30 to £450 for a card.

Give us something to go on here mate, help us out, what games do you want to play? What size is the case?
 
Make sure how much ram your MoBo will support that is where your money should have been spent, especially if you want to play games.
