How can i tell if a video card will fit my computer case

[That Man In The Corner]

I'm going to try upgrading my video card, it's one from like 2008 so it's pretty weak, however everything else on the computer is AMAZING, great ram and all that. However the case and where the video card slots show on the back are pretty big so i'm not sure if it might be too big and the newer, smaller video cards will fit. If you are wondering, my current card is a pathetic AMD Athlon X4 365 processor 3.10 ghz.

The video card slots are standard so it will fit. It just depends on how many slots the card will take up. More importantly is the length of the card. If your case is too small then the card might not fit. Also you listed your processor and not the video card. Can you list the rest of the specs on your computer? It might not be worth it to upgrade the video card, but to save up some more for a new build.

Well the case is pretty huge so i don't think it being to big will be a problem. In terms of my other specs, i have
6.00 GB of ram, i also have DirectX 11, what other specs are you exactly looking for?

Is the ram ddr2 or ddr3? Also what motherboard do you have? And what PSU do you have? But back to your orignal question, if the case is big then any video card will fit.
