Solution k1114 Apr 4, 2013 Google pics always. It's a tight fit but most low profile single slot cards are like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131480

How many amps does this 320 watt power supply have on its 12 volt rail(s) My first though is something like a 7750 low profile card. Much more would most likely be held back by the rest of the system. Upvote 0 Downvote

I did see that image and my first thought was why did they not put the X16 clot on the bottom. Would have been overall better for cooling. Upvote 0 Downvote
