Hi, I have a pre-built CM1855 Desktop Tower with the following specs:

Model: Octocore FX-8120 CM1855
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit)
CPU: FX-8120
Zambez: 32nm Technology
Stock Core Speed: 3.1 GHz
Cores: 8
Threads: 8
Caches: L1 Data Cache Size: 8 x 16 KBytes
L1 Instruction Cache Size: 4 x 64 KB
L2 Unified Cache Size: 4 x 2048 KB
L3 Unified Cache Size: 8192 KB
Core Spd / Multiplier / Bus Spd / Rated Bus Spd: (3410.4 - 3333.3 MHz) / x 17 / (199.3 - 200.6 MHz) / (2399.8 - 2408.9)
HyperThreading: No Supported
RAM: 10.0 GB Dual Channel DDR3 @ 802Mhz [1600 MHz] (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. CM1855 (Socket 942)
Chipset Vendor: AMD
Sothernbridge Model: SB910/950

If you need anymore specific info let me know as I can easily look it up on Speccy. I want to know if I can install a Nvidia GPU in my desktop considering the Chipset Vendor is AMD. Please help me as I'm planning to get a 4GB GTX 745 to replace my ATI Radeon HD 7660D. I'm also wondering if $60.00 (CAD) is a decent price for a pulled / used Nvidia GTX 745 4 GB GPU? Is it worthwhile to replace? Also, if I do, how much do you think my old video card is worth to sell second hand (in CAD)? Please let me know asap as I'm planning to buy it within the next couple of days. I ask this because I bought RipJaw RAM @ 1600 (2 x 4GB) but it wouldn't work even though I took out all the other RAM (I tried it with and without it) but it it didn't work. Anyone know of any good RAM that'll work with my motherboard and if it can take 4 x 8GB sticks? Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Yes it will fit in your case. Also yes $60 is well worth a used 745 aslong as it works :).
Your welcome in advance.

Edit: it also will work in your chipset
