I was looking to upgrade my alienware soon and I saw a gtx 780 and thought that this would be a good graphics card to work with. But I do not know how it will operate with the given specs that my alienware x51 has. P.S I have 6.00 GB hard drive space

I have an alienware x51 and there is two problems with upgrading your graphics card. First off the case wont fit any bigger cards, so if you dont care about a cluttered desk from having an external graphics card then this could work, but the real problem is that the 330 watt powerbrick cant handle a bigger graphics card than the GTX 660. so if you want to spend money on buying a new power brick you might be able to upgrade with an external graphics card. Hope this helped.

why did people say that the alienware x51 cant support the GTX 700 series?

i was gonna buy the GTX770 but they said online that it will not work and dell said they recommend me to buy the 600 series?

In the future op you should come to us when building a pc. An alienware imo feels limited even tho its a good pc but next time we will set you up str8 on the best options out there and you will have something that will dominate that x51
