Model Realtek High Definition Audio|||Any PCI-E x16 card will work the only limit is the money you wish to spend, if you're playing newer games I suggest at least a HD4870 Oh and you'll need at least a 400watts Power supply with 2 6 pin connectors for a HD4870|||Depends how you have to spend i will suggest something like the ATI 5850 or Nvidia 260 to me they are the best bang for you buck|||From what I can tell you will have to get a card that goes into a PCIe x16 or PCIe 2.0 x16

so basically any of them that fit in those (which is most)|||Ok, your computer has a PCIe x 16 slot, so provided you have a big enough power supply, AND the case has at least 10.5" from the back of the chasis to the hard disk cage which is needed to fit the bigger cards into - you should be able to use any PCIe x 16 card, including nVidia and AMD video cards.



Your power supply must have at least one 6 pin 12 volt connector for any advanced card like a GTX 260 or an AMD 4870 card. You should figure at least 200 WORKING WATTS for a single card.



You will need to measure the inside of your case and make sure you have enough room to fit these large, full height cards into the case.
