Please help, becuase my brother already bought me this video card and im wondering if it can even fit in my computer...
 
Yes it will fit your computer but if you don't have a good enough power supply to run it then you will not be able to use it for that card I wold recommend a good 500w power supply from a good manufacture like PC power and cooling, Corsair, Antec, OCZ, FSP, Seasonic, etc.

What is the specs of the rest of you PC you should be fine it doesn't use that much power the recommended is 400w I always add a hundred to be on the safe side. 460w should be plenty cooler master makes pretty good power supply but I wouldn't try to go SLI or be upgrading to a better card because then you will be pushing it.
 
i wont go into SLI since my Motherboard dont have 2 PCI-E *16 slots

The specs i remmember right now is


AMD athlon 64 X2 5600 2.8 GHZ CPU

3GB RAM

2*1GB
2*512MB

Cooler master 460W PSU

You should not have any problems at all with that system everything is pretty low powered the cooler master should do a fine job of running the card.
 
well i was just wondering becuase of other components being in the way....but i guess you problemly didnt find a good picture of the motherboard...if you want i can take a picture of it and post it
 
The reason I talked about the double (correction) width is because some cheaper mobos have double width video cards hanging over some of the connections.
 
Is this the board, if so it will fit the board, They are talking about the case, if the case has enough room for the cards lenght.

It does that on any board if it made for 2 slots of course it is going to cover what ever slot is in it's way almost ever micro atx board will have that happen and full length atx boards have this problem to.
 
Ok people, i got my 8800GTS Alpha DOG Edition!!! and i gotta say its absulutley beutiful (And huge!!!!) but the plugs where i put in the my Sata cables are in the way, well, only one was really in the way so instead of sacraficing my 1TB HDD, i sarcaficed my CD/Dvd Drive, any ideas how i could get my Drive working again....



Also wondering what is considerd hot for a video card? because mine runs from around 50-63 aproxmitly....

If it will work/fit you can use angle Sata ends. Dont know how good of case air flow you have, but you can install EVGA Precision and turn up the fan speed.
