Hello,
Since my computer finally died on me after six years I've decided that it'd be best to replace it than find a way to repair it because its age is really starting to show. I have a pc picked out and am now looking for a graphics card that can keep up with modern games. My problem involves whether or not the card I eventually decide on will fit in the thing.
The computer I'm looking at has for "Available expansion slots": 1 PCI Express X1 and 1 PCI Express X16. Assuming that dimensions matter: H=16.3in ,W=6.9, and depth=15in. Not sure how important the dimensions are or if they'll have much of an effect with most cards, but better safe than sorry.
I found one card that says it has a 1 x 6-pin PCI-E so I assume that it won't matche with the x16, but with my lack of knowledge I wouldn't be surprised if I'm incredibly wrong.
If it won't fit, or even if it does, could anyone suggest a card for somewhere between $150-$200. I already have a 650w psu that I upgraded my old comp with a few years ago and I hear that that's good.
So any help with that would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
