Just look at the specs of your motherboard to make sure it has a PCI-E slot. Its gets a bit more tricky when you start thinking about SLI or Crossfire

What is your cpu, motherboard, and monitor resolution? That would make it easier to help.

Short answer: yes, you'll be able to run a GTX560 with that setup.

Pretty much any new video card you can buy these days will be compatible.

Whats his PSU? I didn't see it listed or am I blind?

The only thing that MIGHT let you down is PSU.. you need to have a semi-decent 500watt psu or better
