I just bought the asus 2 gb radeon 7770

I'm really worried it won't fit in my computer i opened it up and it doesn't look like i have enough room, but i wouldn't know i'm not too good with computers.

If you looked at the screenshot you will notice that the heatsink is right next to the pcie x16 slot, it's 0.5 inches away, the heatsink is also 0.7 inches tall, will the graphics card go above it?

Thanks for taking your time and helping me

That would be wrong, their is only one pci e slot for the gpu which is the first one on the top, the rest are for peripheral or add on cards

Your card should fit fine as most micro atx motherboards have the south bridge sitting 0.5 inches below the pci e slot
There are two slots for the GPU. How about fitting it in the second one 😛? Also, you can try and try and you will succeed. Remove the heatsink fist and then install the GPU, and then finally re-install the heatsink... Hope this helped.
