and can you recommend a good ati/nvidia card that is under 80?

It should fit, however I would focus more on looking at your case. How much space do you have in your case? Pics would be nice, or a link to the case. My desktop PC has a rather standard case, and with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 the video card itself was only about an inch or less away from one of my hard drives.

80 in what currency?

I've heard that the GeForce 440x is a good card, but I'm a bit more familiar with ATI cards.
