Hi,

 

Your MSI GeForce GTX 570 uses PCIe architecture as does your old card - so in this respect the new card is compatible.

The specs are here:

The new card is a wide one and will take up two slot widths.

You need to make sure that you have room.

 

The MSI GeForce GTX 570 has 2 DVI outputs - no VGA. If your present monitor has a VGA connection then you will need an adapter.

 

The Antec high current gamer hcg 750 looks a very nice PSU

I checked and it has 4 8pin ( 6 + 2 ) PCIe power connectors.

This would be enough to run 2 cards.
