Hi,

 

Open up your PC and do some measuring in parallel with the PCI-E x16 slot to see how long of a video card will fit. The slot adjacent to the PCI-E x16 slot needs to be vacant.  The video card that you are looking at is 9.8" in length according to this information.  If that card is too long then look at this EVGA GT 560 video card.

 

The 300 watt power supply in your PC does not have sufficient power for the ASUS 560.  You are going to need a 500+ watt power supply.

Hi,

 

I am glad that you measured for that card. I hope the heat sink by the card is low enough for the card to fit.

 

Try the Corsair CX500.
