You should be able to use any PCIexp 16 video card in any PC with a PCIexp 16 slot. The PCIexp1 slot won't hold any video card (too short). But before you buy a card be sure to read its system requirements on the box! It doesn't matter if a card has ddr3 or other vram, and it doesn't matter how much vram it has. But the more the better. :-)
I like to buy from brick and mortar stores: Microcenter, Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, hhGregg, etc. But online you get a better, usually cheaper, selection. Like Amazon.com, TigerDirect.com, NewEgg.com (but NewEgg charges a restocking fee for returns so I don't use them anymore).
