Will this graphics card fit in a Alienware X51 from 2012?

This is what i have now:
GeForce GTX 660
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz

I'm trying to bring my desktop up to date so I can play more recent games, for example ARK.

edit - it is an R2

edit- I am awful with computers I got the specs off of "can you run it" anyone know if that diagnosis is accurate? Sorry for my ignorance.

you need to make sure you have the 330w power brick and the 960 needs to be a reference model

like this:

330W

due to the way that alienware is setup you need a reference model gtx 960 because it blows its hot air out the back, outside the case.

no way around it unless you modify the case
