Can i mount an PNY GTX 960 2gb OC which was dezinstalled from an Alienware X51 R2 to my desktop PC which has the msi 760gm p21 fx? I mean its compatible? Because i saw this picture and i was 0_0 (how in the name of GOD should i put this in my case!!) https://www.google.ro/search?q=pny+gtx+960+2gb+alienware&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=950&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiU2Nua_rrSAhWNbZoKHYKQAC4Q_AUIBigB#imgrc=Tq3R7tgsrw7pYM:

it's a stock card so whatever they did to get it to mount in the odd way should be able to be removed.

but as boosted noted, we'd need some better pics of what you actually have in front of you to see what can/has to be done. i highly doubt they would have had pny make a custom card just for them. the cost would be too much for a small number sold. it pretty much has to be a standard off the shelf card they put some kind of odd mounting/connection bracket on. probably just needs to be taken off and you're ready to go.

But how can i mount it , i mean like it was shown in the link that i shared, the weird thing is how can i say, upside down, the pcie slot or how its called? I hope you understand what i mean.(Sorry i didnt know how to say it :))
 
Would need better pictures then what is shown in the link to say for sure.

From what it looks like, dell took the card, mounted into that special bracket and then put a circuit board to allow it to be mounted 90 degrees.
Thus from the poor angled picture I saw it appears like it can be mounted in a standard case if you remove the brackets/circuit board.

But it would not be supprising if Dell/Alienware had a one-off custom that is incompatible with standardized ATX.
