Exclamation [Fixed] Graphics Card won't fit, PCI express

[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


Whole PC internals.


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

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.
