inu Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 GPU Help- GTX 750Ti I own an Inspiron 660: http://www.staples.com/Dell-Inspiron-660-Desktop-Computer/product_56855 I'm planning on getting a GeForce GTX 750Ti: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ref=zg_bs_284822_1#customerReviews The question is, will the GPU be able to fit within my motherboard? I think I have an available PCI-Express X16 but it could also be an AGP. Pictures of the motherboard and ports can be found here: https://ncvypq.dm2301.livefilestore.com/y2pXlOyxLSuSJkSciiGgynmWc4WTFRRB-Uiqb33x9FGY8av6d2mlMtcDZeQBgUMnsl3rzDP-dhFLic99StZUwASIb59ddkRgY1rcYnF3iSxMZU/WP_20141001_001.jpg https://ncvypq.dm2301.livefilestore.com/y2p1RbwjsZLYuP1604BdFzwJIIcioo6ZCqmTCotaem6yrlQL3oXAu3feBQZyEb95ycIDek4QGTHMGtCQ3KnQliRUXSnqJ2JlpBjV1mxLxgHvME/WP_20141001_002.jpg?psid=1 Also, if you need a reference for motherboard expansion slots: http://www.playtool.com/pages/vidslots/slots.html Thanks in advance for the help!

Torr. Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Get a GTX 970. For that $370, it almost as good as the R290X Tri-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasuke200 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 That card will be able to fit for sure as long as it is under 9 inches, make sure the slots match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inu Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Get a GTX 970. For that $370, it almost as good as the R290X Tri-X But... it's $150. That card will be able to fit for sure as long as it is under 9 inches, make sure the slots match. Alrighty, how do I go about making sure the slots match? It seems like the HDMI cord is just plugged into nowhere, not even onto the motherboard as far as I can tell. I can upload more pictures if need be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasuke200 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I can't see your motherboard, upload to a different place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 750Ti will work fine (assuming your psu is at least 300w) Do make sure to get a 750Ti that does NOT need external power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasuke200 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 well i gave u all the stuff.... like all the system requirements etc The PC can run windows 8 from the sticker placed on the back. It should meet all of those requirements already. Drivers can be downloaded than using a CD if someone did not have a drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
