First time poster on /g/
I have a shitbox store bought Dell PC. it's got an i5-2320 3.0 in it, I have no idea what motherboard.
A guy on Craigslist is selling a Asus strix 970 for $180.
How can I tell if this will work in my pc? I am completely computer illiterate and functionally retarded.

do you have an open PCI-E slot
does the wattage of your PSU comply with the graphics card

only 2 questions you need to ask yourself
>>
>>55659776
open box
look at power box thingy (the psu)
see if it has around 500+ watts
>if it doesnt have more then 380w dont do et
>make sure theres returns on the buy so you dont get chinked.
and go from there.
i hope i dont have to teach u how to unscrew ur box eaither.

I have a 500w amp, a quick Google search says a standard system will need this.
I have a gtx 550ti from years ago in it, and I someone managed to make that work with this. Does that answer the pci-e question.
Like I said I'm computer illiterate and basically have no fucking clue what I'm doing.

>500w amp
Fuck I'm retarded.
Meant power supply
>>
>>55659816
It's a second hand card off Craigslist, is this a terrible idea?
>>
>>55659823
unplug 550 ti, plug in 970. It's like legos.

Don't forget to touch the case frequently and don't rub your feet on the carpet.

/pol/acks are only tolerated if they know their shit. You look like a fucking idiot,, prolly a neocon milo nigger

Not from /pol/ got the image from fagbook. /k/ and /o/ are the only two boards I've ever really used. Been here since '07

Always make sure to ask if it comes from a smoke-free home. Make sure you aren't buying a GPU that smells like an ashtray.
