so i'm trying to upgrade my 3yr old Dell 8300. I'm thinking of getting a gtx 780 and buying a 650-750watt PSU. I have read that Dell 8300 not working with some GPU so I was wondering if anyone has tried putting a 780 on their Dell 8300 and worked. if yes, what brand did you get?

Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0Y2MRG A00
CPU: i5 2320 @3.0
RAM: 8gb
GPU: GT 545
HDD: 1tb
PSU: 460w

UPGRADE:

GPU: GTX 780
PSU: 650w-750w

Normal ATX should fit right as there is enough space on it. my problem is more on the GPU side since I heard some people had problem since the newer gpu cards is not compatible with the 8300.



true, I read a lot of people say that it works in 8100 but not in 8300. i'm still looking for someone who tried putting a 780 in their dell 8300 so I can certainly confirm.
