Hi guys,

My PC has a low end graphics card that I would like to upgrade.

Currently my PC model is this: a HP Pavillion Slimline s5360f Desktop.

Details here:

My graphics card is a VisionTek Radeon HD 4350.

I've been looking through a lot of graphics cards which are also PCI Express, and my current graphics card says it's size is 2.4" x 6.7" and "Short bracket mounted on card
Convertible to tall bracket ATX form factor." All the ones I've seen, such as this :
MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 620

http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-PCI-Express-N620GT-MD2GD3-LP/dp/B0089KJQKI/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1384835942&sr=1-4&keywords=2gb+graphics+card+pci

are around 2.7" by 5.7".

I would like to know if it is possible for graphics cards around these sizes to work, without having to make the slot larger.

If not, could anyone recommend any graphic cards similar to mine?

Thanks so much

What are you looking to do? the GT 620 is not a good upgrade at all if you're wanting to play games

The GT 620 is a rebranded GT 530 but it's still a rather weak graphics solution. It'd probably be best to go for a new system if you're looking to play games.

And given your slimline small form factor the upgradability of the system in terms of PSUs and GPUs are both extremely limited.

Here is something you could consider for gaming (if you're considering it), just a list to get you started
