That doesn't list your motheroard. Please download and run CPU-Z, and tell us what it says in the mainboard tab.

Any processor and any graphics crad are compatible with each other, provided the motherboard supports them. for that graphics card you will need a PCI-E x16 slot

The Phenom II 720 requires a AM2+ socket. Determined from your current CPU it seems your motherboard supports AM2 which are not compatible with AM2+ CPU's.

The 5770 requires PCI-E x16 and a strong power supply unit (at least 450W) with a pci-e 6 pin connector. You need to identify if your motherboard has AGP or PCI-E interface and if your power supply has the pci-e 6 pin connector.

On the website it says it's an AM3 socket though and AM3's fit in AM2's right?

And yes... Mainboard...

No AM3 CPU's are not supported by a AM2 socket. It's AM2+ and AM3 sockets that can support AM3 CPU's.

Ah then I see, oh well. It's not a big issue. Hmm...
But there is a AM2+ version.. that will work in a AM2 slot right?

EDIT: I just read something about fitting and AM2+ in an AM2 may not be that good, damnit. I might buy a whole new computer, hmm...
