Hello! I wanted to ask if I can upgrade my graphic card to a Nvidia GeForce GT 730 v2 Zotac 2GB. IF NOT, then please recommend me the best of ATI or Nvidia graphic card that can fit in my pc (it is an old PC)BTW it says : Mini Tower but the case is very big.
Here are 2 pics of my MotherBoard and SystemSlots info (didn't know which one has the right info so i put them both)

If your motherboard has a PCI-E 16x slot (hint: it does) it will work with almost all graphics cards currently available.
If your powersupply has additional PCI power connectors, it will be compatible with more graphics cards, but the 730 won't require one of these.

The 930 isn't out yet, I think you are talking about the 730. The 730 doesn't require another power connector, and you can probably do with a 330w powersupply, but be careful, 330w might not be enough to power all your parts + the graphics card. If it were me, I'd upgrade the powersupply, but if you haven't got the money it will probably still work.
