Will a Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 fit and work in this pc?

Well. This spread sheet says it comes with an R9 270.


However, I can't find any information on the power supply other than it's 500 Watts.

Which is enough for a GTX 970, if the power supply has two native six pin supplemental power leads.

(One should already be going into the R9 270.)

Check to see if you have another. Depending on the variant of the 970 you want, it will require two PCIe six pin leads.

The "variant" of 970 doesn't matter, it's only a 150w card.

Okay, firstly.

- The motherboard only determines if the support of a PCIe lane. PCIe 1, 2, and 3 are all backwards and forwards compatible.

The problem is not having enough supplementary power cables from your power supply to plug into the graphics card to power it.

Secondly, Mousemonkey~

By "variant," I mean the manufacture brand of the GTX 970, such as ASUS, MSI, EVGA, et cetera.

Some versions of the card require two six pin PCIe power cables, some require one six pin and one eight pin.
