I am a little new to computers. I've never changed a graphics card before, and now I was thinking of replacing my Nvidia 9400 GT with a Nvidia GTX 260.
I'm still wondering if the graphics card can fit into my computer case. I've tried meassuring it, and my computer case is 40 cm wide, while the GTX260 is 27 cm, if I recall correctly. There isn't much cables or wires in the way, so I'm pretty sure it fits.
I'm still not quite sure as to how exactly to change a graphics card, as I've never done it before. I've read somewhere that all you have to do is pull it out, and put the new one in, but the GTX 260 has all these cables, and I'm not sure where to fit all of those in.
Im pretty sure my PSU is 500w . Is there anything else I should look for?
Specifications:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000
3.2 GB of Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
If theres any more info you need, tell me
Thanks in advance!
