Will my gtx 480 1gb ddr5 fit in my case?

Jeremyyydv · Mar 13, 2017

I have an acer aspire x3950 and it has a small form factor type or a slim line case. And I am planning to buy either a gtx 480 or gtx 550 ti, but if both won't fit, i'll go with gt 730 1gb ddr5.

I currenly have its stock gpu installed which is gt 320

It's a slim case so only accepts low profile cards. It will also need to be a single slot card since the pcie slot is on the end of the mobo and case.

So only the gt 730 will fit in my case?

A pre-built slim form factor PC typically requires a low profile card. In addition, pre-builts almost never come with with a power supply adequate for cards like you named first, the 480 and 550. The GT 320 uses about as much power as the GT 730, so the 730 should work. It is a low budget card, so stick with 720p at most, and low settings on more demanding games.

So i guess that it is not possible to fit the gtx 480 or 550 ti on my case, am i right?

1) FYI, there's a massive, massive difference between a GTX550Ti and RX-480.

2) I did find a Low Profile GTX1050TI card. It's fairly reasonable, and most low-wattage PSU's should be fine (possibly even 200W depending on CPU):

(the low profile bracket is not shown, and description says it is OPTIONAL.. WTF? So just realize you'd have to buy that somehow.. from MSI direct?.. unless you can find another low profile card)

3) Recommend you stick with GTX1050Ti unless you can find an RX-460 or better AMD card.

*If it's NOT for gaming then don't bother. Go with a GT710 or similar with no fan. If you DO want some gaming then the GTX1050Ti is the minimum I'd get (RX-460 is worse).

I can't find a BETTER card than the GTX1050Ti though.

That 1050ti won't work. As I mentioned, it has to be a single slot card.

I guess i'll have to stick with gt 730, since i'm on a low budget and it has a fairly reasonable price. And one more thing, I figured out that i also have to change my psu, which is another problem because i'll have to find a psu that will fit in my case. Can you please suggest?

thank you guys!

Your psu should be fine.
