Hi guys,for starters I am not a computer expert so I need help.I would like to buy the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 OC Windforce 3X NVIDIA Graphics Card but I'm not sure my mobo will support this.

Board: Dell Inc. 0T568R A00

thats my mother baord.I would like to buy either Asus GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II NVIDIA Graphics Card - 2GB or Asus GeForce GTX 680 DirectCU II NVIDIA Graphics Card - 2GB.

Thanks in advance.

Au contraire; That mobo has 1 16x PCI-E slot. Therefore, providing you have an adequate PSU, those graphics cards should work with your system.

Before you buy a new card, make sure you have the physical space for the card to fit. I've seen some Dell computers that lacked room for some of the bigger cards.

Hi Joe.Thanks for the reply.It is a good point.I am going to measure the available space now but there is another problem.I watched a video on youtube about this card and the guy says it takes 3 slots..I have a network card installed just below my current graphics card and have an empty slot below but I don't think I will be able to move the network card to the empty slot .Do you think I will have to get rid of the network card?
