Hey guys i'm helping a friend get a new graphics card, he wants one at about £100, i'm planning to get this one for him HIS HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer it seems to be able to fit pretty well inside a 5150 and uses a PCI-e x16 slot which the 5150 has, but some people have been saying they have to hook their new gpu to a different power source. So would i have any trouble putting an ati 5770 into a dell 5150?
Thank you muchly in advance for any response

Hello,

It look really tight inside there, did the gpu actually touches the cpu block? If it didn't you are a really lucky vanilla in here.

Back to the point, you might have to upgrade your psu so you will be able to provide enough for 5770.


Edited: it appears that you haven't brought it. Be advised, the high performance video card has the really long board, completes with the shiny, decalized block that cover and ducts the air inside. You should check the measurement and determines if it will be able to fit in there.

limited space is what I hate about SFF (small form factor) computers...

bushwhacker is correct, just make sure that your card is not in contact with other devices onside your case.
