I need helping with my GTX 960.

[Sam_96]

Hi, so I'm quiet new to the technical gaming scene, and I was wondering what graphics card to get?
I have a Slimline Packard Bell iMedia; this is the specs and an image of it.

So that is it, but I currently have the ASUS Nvidia STRIX GTX 960 DC2OC 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card that I bought today, but I need to return it because it doesn't fit.
I want a card that I can run games (Arma III) On well; I want to play on decent specs with decent frames.
So could you help me please?

Thanks.

You need a low-profile GPU to fit into that case. Something like this should fit:

Good suggestion for a full size case, but not here. Only low profile GPUs will physically fit into this case.

He's only got a 220 watt PSU, also. May be another can of worms to upgrade that as well.

Since you can't OC that rig (nor should one even try), the stock 220w PSU should be fine. The OP could drop back to a GTX 750 (non-ti) as well.

Regardless, a low-profile GPU is required (one with the low profile bracket attached).

Does it not fit because it can only be 1 slot or is tp long of a card

It is too tall, too long, too wide, and requires too much power. Otherwise, it is a good GPU for other systems.

Omg I haven't seen a Packard bell in ages used to be here in the states.. His only option is a SFF gpu which can run under the 220 watt PSU WHICH is probably SFF as well and that's where it gets tricky in upgrading this system.

Well the most powerfull gpu you can get pretty much is the 750ti
