Where do i put my new card in.

kickface2 · Jun 3, 2013

I just ordered a new card and I don't know if it will fit nor where to place it. Here is the card and a picture of my motherboard.

I'm pretty sure it goes were it says pci express 2.0 but again i'm not sure I'm new to this. There is a fan in the middle I'm guessing its the CPU so I don't have much space.

yes it goes in the pci express slot

rgd1101 · Jun 3, 2013

it only have one slot, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit.

You insert your new video card into the long, blue PCIe port, underneath the word ASRock PCIExpress2.

If you have any other questions with your build, don't hesitate.

Here is the link to my rig with how every thing is inside, just scroll through the pictures. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227442

I've watched videos and well the parts on the graphics card like the monitor slot and HDMI spot wont go out the back like how people do.

Sorry if i sound really stupid I'm quite new and my mom(yes my mom I'm 15) is going to be pissed if I bought something i can't use.

That's what moms are there for.
Dads, OTOH, will say "Well...you won't do that again, will you?"

Look like there is screw hold the back cover. it look like it would work fine.
Oop. speak too soon, you did get a new psu with the new card? a cheap 300W might not work.

There should be a plate covering the back slot on the case with a screw at the top. If you unscrew that you should be able to remove the plate and slide the card in correctly. Use the screw you took off of the plate to secure the card to the case.

And 'not knowing' is not 'stupid'. Just some bit of information that you did not know.
You asked, and now you do know...

Never stop asking.

I would just change the psu first, and make sure it work before adding the new card.

once your take out the back cover plate put your 7850 into the slot and the dvi/hdmi port will come out to the back and you can connect your monitor.

bdiddytampa · Jun 3, 2013

you should be able to remove these plates with the screws

Your card should slide in nicely with just a bit of pressure

Once it is in, you will need to connect the 2 6 pin connectors from your power supply to the card, they will look like this

Like quicksand and USAFRet have said, don't hesitate to ask questions bud

One more thing, when I get everything do i have to go into my display adapters and uninstall Intel(R) HD Graphics? Or do i just turn my sysyem off and hook everything in and install the new software for the new card?
