Will my graphic card work/fit on this computer?
Hi guys, i'm planning to buy a computer which is:
Compaq SR5502SC
- AMD Sempron x2 2200
- Bestec 300W PSU
- 4GB RAM
- 250GB HDD
- MSI/nVidia GeForce 8600 GT 256MB

And i want to replace the graphic card (Geforce 8600) with my graphic card i have at home which is ASUS GEFORCE GT 210 1GB

Will it work?? and do the computer have enough PSU for the graphic card?


I also have another question, i'm also planning to buy another computer, so its either the Compaq or this one:
"DELL OPTIPLEX 760" DT version
- Intel core 2X 2,6 Ghz
- 4GB RAM
- 80GB HDD
- Intel Q45/Q43 Chipset (Graphic card)
Since i looked at it and know that it only have 255W, i know its limited to add a Graphic card, but what graphic card can i add into it, since my ASUS GEFORCE GT 210 1GB won't fit the computer

Well it has a PCIe X16 slot and any low profile card will fit it, if you can find an R7 240 card it has low power consumption and will run on that PSU.


If i find another one, does size matter?? or can i just buy one low power consumtion??
For instance, i found this card, will it work? Sapphire Radeon HD5450 DDR3 HDMI 1GB

Yes the 210 will work on the 300watt, the optiplex needs a low profile card.


Can you recommend some low profile card
