Hi,
Recently my graphics card has completley died, (RAM problem i believe) so now i can run hardly anything and have lots of funky blue lines down the screen!
Anyway, i'm looking in to buying a new grahpics card and was just wondering if anyone could tell me weather the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 would be compatible with my machiene?

I believe it would be as i have only had it just over a year (Sucks as the warrinty has only just run out lol)

As long as your power supply is powerful enough and you have PCI-E 2.0 16x slots on your motherboard you should be fine.

okay thankyou, i do know that i have a 750W power supply but how would i go about finding if i have the PCI-E 2.0 16x?
are they labelled as such on the mother board or somewhere else?

Thanks,

Go Here for a complete list of specs on your system. About halfway down the list is the PCI slot configuration.
