So I am planning on putting a 750 ti on my dell dimension E520 and I am somewhat new to this, Is there anything I should know about when installing this or connecting it? Also I will slowly buy new pc parts through the year for a completely new computer, but I thought I should start with this since I have read that other people were able to use it on their pc.

Here are my specs:
CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2.13GHz 95 °F
Conroe 65nm Technology
RAM
2.00GB DDR2
Motherboard
Dell Inc. 0WG864 (Microprocessor)
Graphics
HP S2031 (1600x900@60Hz)
Intel G965 Express Chipset Family (Dell)
Intel G965 Express Chipset Family (Dell)
Hard Drives
149GB Seagate ST3160811AS (SATA) 101 °F
Optical Drives
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NS90
Audio
High Definition Audio Device
PSU 305W

Just remove the PCI Covers from the back of the case and slide your card into the PCI Express slot that is closest to the CPU, in other word the highest PCI slot. Make sure you go into your BIOS to turn off the integrated graphics. And plug your display cable to the video card, not the motherboard.

However, no offense, but your system would most likely bottleneck your GTX 750. I recommend buying a new system all together because all you stuff is pretty low end. Just a suggestion though
