Will a EVGA GeForce GTX 950 FTW Fit in my dell xps 8900?

someoneyt :

it comes with a gtx 970 correct?

generally a gtx 950 will be smaller, so it should fit

did the 970 die on you?

it didn't come with a gtx 970 it came with a gtx 745..

someoneyt :

ok, some models come with a 970

so a 950 should fit

you need to make sure your power supply has a spare 6-pin pcie cable to power that 950

yes it has 6 pin

also my power supply is 300w but the card requires at least 350w. I know I need a new one
I'm thinking about getting this power supply. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EON40CS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3LGJ9ZB5RSN9T
but I don't know if it will fit......

someoneyt :

that psu is not very good

this is much better and around the same price:

looks like the 8900 can take a standard sized power supply
