Graphics card help
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I saw a similiar thread that helped some and it seems that this is a very active community.
I recently purchased an Inspiron 580 (I apparently got the minitower version and not the slim version). I want to use it for gaming and need to upgrade my video card (currently only has an onboard video card).
Now I do have an Nvidia Geoforce GT240 1 GB DDR3 from my previous computer but this video card wont fit in the tower (it seems that the PCIe slot is about 1/2 inch to high and the external portion of the card does not match up with the punch out slot in the computer case). So how do I find a video card that will match up with my computer. I went to the dell website and they gave me a list of video cards to potentially use (Graphics Cards : Computer Components | Dell )
I am willing to upgrade my power supply as well.
