Ok well i need a new vid card mine is crapping out. Need a PCI Express x16 compatible card. Looking to stay under $100? i guess is a good point. I do some gaming not a huge load on it but i would like something decent. Let me know what you think thanks.

Yep…pretty much as long as the pin configuration is the same it will fit…Seems the card is kinda on the long side so hopefully you have a mid-full tower
