That all depends on the specifications of the rest of your system, (depending on your power supply size and motherboard) Can you post them or are you Unsure?
If you are unsure, Download a program called Speccy it's free and virus free.
My board is an Asus P5G-MX, not sure what my PSU is though (im not beside my pc to check it out)! Is it a good mobo i have? One thing i did notice about it, there isnt much expansion room, just 2 or 3 slots.
Well to really help you we would need all the specs not just the mobo model. We really need the power supply wattage.
The good news is that your motherboard has a PCI-E Express x16 slot which means you can get as you say "expensive" graphics card.
The bad news is it is a mATX board (micro ATX) which means and depending on your case that you may not have enough room to fit it in there. I have a EVGA GTX 260 and it is 10 1/2 inches long and about half an inch thick.
So post back with those specs and we may be able to help.
An ATX Mid-Tower can fit a 5770, easily. Only if you have smaller than that, you will have a problem. We do not yet know what type of case he has. Mid-tower is the most common.
