Upgrading My graphics card for d3

[thecaptain91]

Was a pre package deal specs are Pentium(R) Dell Inspiron 560 dual core E5700 @ 3.00 GHz 3.00 GHz. Not sure if i need to add any other specs, a friend recommended me to get gt 550ti, but im not sure its compatible with the motherboard of this computer, it currently has g43 g45 chipset or some crap like that, any advice i got like 150$ to make this run d3 is it possible

If it has a PCIe X16 slot it will work just make sure you have enough PSU power!

It does have the slot http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/insp560mt/en/cs/cs_en.pdf Your PSU is 300watts and Dell has a tendency to use underrated PSU's so the card might work or might not on that PSU.

take a look at the picture. your colors may vary but the slot will have 1 short segment about 1/2 an inch and then a longer segment.

The recommend power supply is 400 watts and requires a 6 pin pci-e connector. You will most likely have to upgrade your power supply as most dells will come with a 300 watt PSU. Open you pc and check for a 6pin connector (pretty easy to spot as it's unique) comming from the PSU. IF you don't have one then i would upgrade the PSU.
