Solution clutchc Oct 25, 2016 potatoe493 : shit sorry its the mini tower The 755 has a major drawback for adding a good gfx card. It uses a BTX design instead of ATX, and lays out the PCIe x16 slot in a location that limits you to a single slot, short gfx card. http://en.community.dell.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/3515/755VIDZ.JPG Add to that the fact that it probably has the stock 305W Dell PSU, and you are pretty much limited to a GT 730 64 bit DDR5 single slot card as the best you can use: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007709%20600519936%20600038363%20600038364%20600007799%20600007797

The small 280W PSU with its single 16 amp +12v rail will also be a limitation. You are probably looking at a GT 730 64 Bit DDR5 gfx card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007709%20600519936%20600038363%20600038364%20600007799%20600007797 Upvote 0 Downvote
