Graphics Card Size- Length?

I have this computer

This is probably a dumb question, but all PCI-E cards I assume are the same length, because the slot is standard right?

Im looking to put this in it.

Hi

Lol...NO

Graphics cards are all DIFFERENT lengths...from around 4 inches to well over 12 inches...

Tape measure time.... the lengths are on sellers sites...

All the best Brett

The pci-e slot is standard, but the graphics card length is not.
However, your card is not unusually long, and The case looks to be able to handle much longer cards.
I would not worry.

Yes i was referring specifically to the section that actually inserts into the PCI-E slot, not the overall length of the card, i should have specified!

Not all PCI slots are the same (lane count)

PCI-E 16's are used for GPUs and are the longest of them all. Most mother boards now a days have 1-3 of them.

Expansion Slots
2 x PCI
1 x PCI-e x 4
1 x PCI-e x 16

One thing you need to factor in is your machine has a 350watt factory power supply. That card requires a minimum 450watt PSU. The card requires a 6-pin PCIe supplementary power cable as well. While it may physically FIT in your case/ on your motherboard, you will likely have issues unless you upgrade your power supply as well
