Dell E 510 Upgrade

[bob sagat]

I have a dell e510 with a 600w PSU, 3.2Ghz PD processor, and 4gb of ram. I want to get a new graphic card for my computer because right now i'm running the x600. I want to be a able to play games on high quality i'm looking at graphic cards under $150USD.

I tried the XFX 4850 but the fan was in the way
are there any high end cards that will fit in my dell.

well, i wouldn't advise taking the fan out since that would increase heat in the case a lot

could try a different case

you cannot get a "high end card" for 150$

edit: i do not know enough about your computer, but that card takes 1 PCI slot instead of 2 if that is what the problem is. How does it "get in the way"

the graphic card does not fit because the big black thing blanking right now on my motherboard

i do not know what the big black thing is but like I said, this is a skinnier card, the height of the 4850 without the fan, assuming the 4850 takes 2 PCI slots, which i think they all do.
