[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/micky/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG]Hey guys, i recently bought a new graphics card . But it does not fit in my PC! the connectors on the cards dont fit the slots they are supposed to go in. the graphics card is: Radeon Rx550/256mb Pci-e Dvi Vga.

ive included some pictures of the internals of my PC to see if you guys can help me out on which cards i can and cant use because i am at the edge of my tether and can't find the right advice on fitting the card. HELP!!

This is the PCI slot section of my PC. the casing is at the top.




This is a close up of the PCI slot with the casing at the top of the pic

If you can offer any help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Hope this information is relevent to you. i know the information is more than you asked for but i thought it might be relevent anyways. Im a new to the whole PC upgrade thing and i have been majorly stung because of this PCI slot nonsense. PLEASE HELP!

did you say you have already brought a graphics card for it?

Hello tygasamurai, and welcome to the forum.
Just an observation from the sideline. Your graphics card is a PCI-e (PCI-express) card, and unless i looked up the wrong motherboard, your board doesnt support PCI-e. You might want to double check that, and some one correct me if read it wrong.

thats what i noticed but did't know if he has already brought the card or if he was saying that was the one he was thinking of getting
