There are small form factor HD 6670 and HD 7750 if that's what he wants...

So you want a single slot card.

The battery (round metal circle next to the wireless card.) will not get hit by any cards

If you are not using the wireless card, you can just remove it or get a usb or pci one

If not, you will need to look for cards that are single slot for sure.

im gunna get a double slot and take out the wireless card will it still go over the metal thing?

Yes it should. cards sit above the slot a bit so clearance should not be an issue

hey thanks for that so what hd 7770 should i go for MSI hd 7770?

doesn't anybody ever read?..............

doesn't anybody ever read?..............

is that for me? Please explain?

It looks to me like they have concerns over hitting the battery.

Lets make sure we are all on the same page here.

Red = Battery
Blue = Capacitors
Orange = Crystal oscillators.
Green = Coils/Inductors

I see nothing in the way of a video card in this system(any of the 7770's should fit) as long as the wireless card is removed. The one swifty_morgan linked in this post is nice and short and would not even reach the end of the board(this is a good thing).

 

[danetech]

ok thanks for all your help

 

[danetech]

sorry im from england and there is no english sites where i can buy it from? any other suggestions or just go with the msi 7770?

 

[swifty_morgan]

no. not directed at you. already provided a link to a card that has a fan shroud that should not interfere with a high cap.......... but I see it's a battery. and I never had a battery hit any kind of pci or pci-e card before so assume any card will fit. if doubts........... buy a card with a small shroud instead of one that fully encases the pcb.

 

[danetech]

which 7770 would you go for on this page http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=56&subid=1699

 

[nukemaster]

Any one them should work. The MSI is cheaper and seems to have the same clock speed as all but the top card, but the newegg reviews seem to list it as being rather loud. That may be subjective.
