What motherboard is this

What Motherboard is this Dell 0XR1GT its not listed on pcpartpicker.com

Darkbreeze · Nov 8, 2014

That's because it's an OEM board, not an aftermarket one. Why would you be looking for a DELL motherboard on PCPartpicker? They only list aftermarket hardware there, not OEM stuff.

It has a PCIex16 slot so pretty much any card that will fit in the case depending on whether or not your CPU and power supply are sufficient for the card. A lot of Dell pc's come in smaller than standard sized cases and have power supplies with form factors that are not standard and may not have the correct power cables, again, depending on what card you're looking at. Here are the specs for that board.

6gb ddr3 ram memory
1tb hard drive
intel(R)HD Graphics intergrated
powersupply is around 300 to 400 im going to upgrade to something higher

so i was looking and decided to get the radeon 7770 but dont know from which brand whats the difference also if you think i shouldnt get this im open to new ideas.

Darkbreeze · Nov 8, 2014

What is your budget. That card seems like a waste of money, it's not much, if any, better than most the current integrated graphics. Also, what country?

Darkbreeze · Nov 8, 2014

And before we get into a discussion about power supplies, read these so you understand the importance of a quality unit and that just because a PSU says it's 400w, 500w, etc, doesn't mean squat.

Don't be surprised when your cheap PSU blows up:

I decided to get this Thermaltake TR2 600W ATX Power Supply it has a 3.9 average rating and its priced at 30 on ebay

Darkbreeze · Nov 8, 2014

No, that's one of the absolute worst PSUs of all time. Clearly you didn't look at the link for the Tier list I posted.

That unit is a Tier 5 replace immediately level PSU and it's even in BOLD letters so it will stand out to anybody looking at the Tier list. You couldn't possibly have made a worse choice. There are probably at least a hundred posts, if not more, here at Tom's with major failures due to the use of the Thermaltake TR2 PSUs.

In fact, I'm just about positive it's the model being tested in the video link from Corsair labs I linked to as well. Did you actually look at and read the information at those links?

It's your rig, you can do what you want, but when somebody is trying to help you, you need to at least consider the advice and information being provided. Cancel that order if you placed it already. You DO NOT want that PSU.

Darkbreeze · Nov 8, 2014

Tier five - Replace immediately. These units are NOT recommended for any system, no matter the purpose. Reference to higher tiered models for a better and potentially money-saving unit

For that price range, of 70 bucks, the HD 7770 probably is the only choice that makes sense. Personally, I'd recommend saving another thirty to forty bucks and getting a low end R9 270, which would make worlds of difference over the HD 7770, but that's up to you.

Darkbreeze · Nov 8, 2014

If thirty bucks is the most you can spend on a PSU, which is pretty low for any kind of decent unit, this would undoubtedly be your best option.

i'm sorry T^T i did look sure i'll admit it i didn't look all the way down just half way

Darkbreeze :

I shall try to acquire the R9 270 but how do I know if it fits in my tower? I believe its a mid tower also from which company should I get it from or does it not matter?

Darkbreeze · Nov 9, 2014

Crap, you have a Dell case right? You'll need to measure from inside of the case at the back to where the the hard drive cages would obstruct the installation of the card and tell me what the length is that can fit.

I'm pretty damn sure this card will fit, as it's only 7.8 inches long, and is the lowest price of the bunch anyhow. I'm not a big fan of Powercolor, but all the reviews on this card say it runs cool, performs good and has a low power draw so it may be your best choice at this price range.

the length that can fit is 9 inches

Darkbreeze · Nov 9, 2014

So I'd stick with any R9 270 under 8.7 inches, just to be safe.

Darkbreeze · Nov 9, 2014

So, that Powercolor card, or this one, would both work. I like the XFX better, but they're Powercolor IS cheaper so go with what feels good to you.
