Will an XFX Radeon HD 7870 FX-787A-CDFC 2048MB PCIe X16 Gen 3.0 work in my ASUS CG5275 with one PCIe 1X slot? I would like to upgrade my GPU but I am not sure if the desktop is just too old? Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help. My system is the CG5275-AR0003. The problem that I have been having is in running certain games with higher graphics requirements. The computer will literally shutdown which I assume is due to higher temps generated due to the graphics. I ran a variety of tests using Speccy and Speedfan and found that the temp for the GPU was over 105 C. Am I correct that the problem is with the GPU? Any help her would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks!

Yes, if it's too hot then your system will throttled down or even shut it down itself to prevent any damage.
You can try clean all components from dust, re-apply thermal paste, or even add more fan and change to bigger case... :)
