Geforce GT 730 compatible with my PC?

[ChumP]

I want to buy a nvidia geforce gt 730 and I don't know if it is fully compatible with my Dell inspiron 530
My specs:
Motherboard : Dell 0ry007
CPU: Intel pentium dual core E2160@ 1.80 GHz
PSU: Acbel 300 W
Current GPU: Nvidia 7300GT 512Mb on 128 bit DDR2
RAM : 4 gb DDR2-800 MHz
Sound : Soundblaster audigy 2 ZS
Storage : SSD Kingston V300 120 GB

My case is Micro ATX and i don' t know if it's enough space in it for the GT 730
P.S: Sorry for my bad english

It should work no problem. This computer uses a very bad quality PSU, but GT730 uses only 40W, so no big deal here.

When buying GT730, just make sure you get 64bit GDDR5 model, it is much faster than 128 bit DDR3 model.

Thanks for the fast reply bro , i'm gonna search for that card.One more question both (128bit and 64 bit) are using DX 12 API RIGHT?

DX12 is actually not a hardware feature, it is merely an upgrade of DX11 software layer in Windows. Meaning, most current cards which support DX11 will be able to get DX12 once Microsoft releases an update. But don't bother with it, it might matter somewhat to fastest cards with most demanding titles, but for budget cards it is not important at all. Developers have to make use of it, and currently there are no games that support it, since it is not even out yet.

I found 2 versions of the gpu ,do you think i must get the one with low profile or my case will be enough for the bigger one?

P.S: Thanks so much for your help you are the best 😀

To be sure, get low profile. Nothing wrong with it. It should fit both small and large cases. Just double check that it is the 64 bit GDDR5 version 😉

Graphics cards use their own memory (in this case, GDDR5) which has nothing to do with your main memory (RAM) and is only used for graphics tasks. So you can freely pick one without any worries.
