Will my graphics card and power supply fit in this pc

I have what I believe is a Dell Inspiron 3847, but I could be wrong. (If anyone knows how to check what a PC is called, then pls comment that) Anyway, it has a 300 watt psu and I'm looking to upgrade that as well as my graphics card. Will they fit? If you need a pic of my pc, I will post it.

Edit: So is this too big?
The dimensions say 11.2 x 5.7 x 1.3 inches

If the card is not over 9" long, it will fit. The PSU will fit also. I presume this is your PC.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Measure from the expansion slot cover to the drive cage in your PC. That 9" was only a nominal measurement. You may actually have a tad more if needed.

But saying it was 9 inches, that card would be too big? I'm sorry but I'm not tech savvy

Okay so I opened up the case. I have a pci express 16, so that's compatible. Where I am confused is, where is the drive cage?

The 'drive cage' is that metal framework that the HDD is sitting in. The max length of card you can use is what will fit as measured from the back of the case where the expansion slot covers are to that cage... obviously.

Btw, you may not need a new PSU if the one you have now is a 300W Dell unit. Most can handle the GTX 1050. Even the faster GTX 1050 Ti which isn't much more. And as long as you settle on that short mini card, you have plenty of room.

Look at the nameplate on that PSU. Let me know what it says. I might be able to help you get a faster card and not have to upgrade the PSU.

Money saved not buying a PSU can make the jump to 1050Ti painless.
