How old is your system/PSU? Can you pass on a picture of the stickered portion of your PSU?

Why do you want a quadro fx 4600 in the first place? It's ancient and get outperformed by a bunch of other used alternatives at the same price.

It doesn't care what gpu goes in there as long as it's a pcie x16 compatible gpu (and isn't using pcie version 2.1 which a couple of cards did).

The z400's psu can handle single 6 pin cards just fine. Whats the budget for the gpu upgrade?
