My specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Intel Core i7 2600 @3.40Ghz
2x2.00GB DDR3 RAM
ASUSTeK P8H67-M LX (MoBo)
1024mb ATI Radeon HD5670
1.5TB HDD
650Watt PSU

Hey guys, this is my first question on tomshardware;
Can I put a XFX Radeon HD7950 Black Edition Double Dessipation on my MoBo? there's plenty of room in my PC, but I'm not quite sure if it can be placed correctly in my MoBo.
Thanks in advance!

I would not suggest you get the XFX HD7950. They are known to run hot, there is a reason they are so cheap.

Instead look to pretty much ANY other HD7950.

Thanks for the answer, what GPU would you recommend? I have about 250 euros to spend, and the XFX was 239.

No problem. :) 

If you want you can wait for the R9 280, that card will be priced better and is the same as the HD7950.

If you can find another site that I can look at, let me know and il take a look if they have quality cards available.
