Graphics Card Bus Types?

I've been looking for answers anywhere I could think of and I can't find any.. or maybe I'm just not wording it right. :P

But there are different bus types on different graphic cards. How do I know which one fits my motherboard? Or do I go by that?

Then there's memory as well, there's DDR2, DDR3... I read that DDR3 is more improved than DDR2 and when it comes to latency (CL9, CL8) it's better when it's lower CL7, CL5.. for example. Am I correct? If the lower the number the better, then why are newer memory on the CL9 or CL8 side? :confused:

I wanna get the 5770 for my new build and it says GDDR5. I'm still in the process of learning so sorry about all the questions.

Please give me some input on this. Thank you in advance. :)
