I am purchasing a new PC for basic home use, but also HD video editing with our camcorder and Sony Vegas software.


I think I want a dedicated video card on a budget, and through advice on this and other boards, may go with:

But, what I don't know is will it fit on the motherboard (or the case) of this Thinkcentre:

I have messed around with PCs before, but not in a few years and am therefore ignorant and trying to learn. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

it will fit the motherboard fine, but not the case. for a low profile computer like that you also need a low profile card or to buy a bigger case for it. if you are looking for a low profile video card, the best i know of is the AMD Radeon HD 7750, such as this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202002 . while it will not deliver anywhere near the performance of the gtx650, it is the best card you can fit into that computer case.
