Graphics Card Compatibility for Acer ATC-605-EB17

[moogsy]

It has Intel Core i7 4770 3.40ghz, AMD Radeon HD 8570 & 8gb ram

So I'm wondering if I could upgrade my graphics card to a better one. I can see that I may have to upgrade my power supply too. Also, wondering if I would have to take out the AMD card to use the slot and have enough space for the new one. I'm pretty new and inexperienced to building so how would I go about upgrading (if even possible)

Thanks.

You need to see what is the maximum length of a GPU that can fit in the case. If you are buying a R9 380 or something more powerful, you will need a 500 W PSU. EVGA G2 or Seasonic S12II will work. But you need to first know the maximum GPU length and then we can go ahead.

I measured about 6.5 inches

Keep in mind you will need a psu of 500 W to run this. What is the rating of your current psu?

Well, you need a bigger PSU then.

If you don't want to upgrade psu, I will suggest getting an R7 360 instead.
