Upgrade card chart Mini-Tower Dell Vostro 460

Hello everyone. I am completely new to this physical thing of the entire computer, and I would like to help. I am looking to update my current card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 420) chart for my Vostro 460, and I was wondering if someone else had gone through that process or could give me some detailed help. I don't really know a lot of graphics cards, and try to understand those who work with the system I have is a bit confusing.

I realized that I need to improve my diet (currently 350 watts) in order to get a decent graphics card. I was thinking to get this 500 watt a I've seen recommended on another forum-

http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817151119&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&aid=10446076&PID=6146836&SID=f6vge9gxnfbi

That will fit in the 460 Vostro mini tower, right? Don't want to buy something and then didn't even hold.

As for the graphics card I want, I'm pretty open with regard to the price range. Basically, I'm trying to run something like Skyrim on higher settings, but I don't need a fool of computer game set in place. Someone here could give me some advice on what I should consider buying?

Just get a GeForce GTX 750 Ti and you won't even have to upgrade from your diet.  They use 60-Watt and GeForce experience will optimize Skyrim on Ultra settings clocked at resolution of 1920 x 1080 with this card.

This one HERE is popular and didn't even need any connection of auxiliary groups of power because of how effective power this new chip is and they run very cool, so you'll have no problem at all heat.

  • Upgrade processor or motherboard on Dell Vostro 230 Mini-Tower

    I have a Dell Vostro 230 Mini-Tower, and the vehicle currently has Intel Pentium E6500 processor. I would like to move on to something better, because my current processor does not meet the minimum requirements of some games I want to play. I was wondering what processor I could update? I know that the new processor has to adapt to the taking of the motherboard, but I don't know how to find out what socket has my current motherboard, or even what motherboard it is.

    I would also like to know, if I upgrade the processor, but instead get a new motherboard, can't I get a motherboard and plug and it will come with a new processor, or he will have to adapt my current processor? Upgrading the motherboard makes much difference to the speed of CPU if I don't actually pass the processor?

    I am running Windows SP3 & DirectX 11, with 4 GB of RAM, and I also have an ATI Radeon 5670 HD graphics card and a power of 300W.

    I have to get a new power supply if I upgraded the motherboard or processor?

  • HP pavilion slimline 400: a problem about the upgrade card chart, power, and a new case

    I have a hp pavilion slimline 400 and I want to upgrade the graphics card of it. However, the food is not enough for my new graphics card. The image is too large for this case. SO I decide to buy a new case and PS! Move all the thing inside the hp pavilion slimline 400 to a new case. But I heard someone say that this kind of PC can match the case that we can buy in the store and the cable of the PIN from those of food on the market do not correspond with the motherboard. CAN I really do that?

    You will still need a case that supports the Μatx layout.  I/O back plate must be modded or replaced to adapt.  Most cases have both Μatx and ATX layout (dead end of pines).  For some time that this question of stitching was done.  These help?

  • Dell Vostro 220 Mini-Tower power supply

    The Dell Vostro 220 Mini-Tower supports a power more than the factory installed psu and if so how much power does support? I read here and there that it supports 300 to 350 watts... no one knows with certainty? ... Thank you.

    This is false, as a greater power supply and can be installed.

    Generic standard ATX power supplies, with a 24-pin or 20 + power connector 4 - pin main motherboard, with or without the on/off switch, would be compatible with the Vostro 220 Mini-Tower.

    You should be able to buy a compatible power supply either a local computer or online store.

    Need a power supply with four SATA power connectors.

    Wilting thi made?

  • Vostro 200 Mini Tower trying to start, stops, then resumes

    Vostro 200 Mini Tower trying to start, stops, then repeats until you press the power button to interrupt the cycle.

    The power button is orange and fixed

    The blue disk activity light

    MOBO is lit

    All the fans (CPU, GPU, PSU, case) work

    Removed and reinstalled video card

    Deleted and reinstalled memory modules

    Power connectors to reinstalled MOBO

    Battery replaced CMOS

    All connectors are firmly connected, and yet there seems to be no power to the screen or keyboard.

    I disconnected the power, drained residual power and reconnected the power.  The cycle continues.

    I would appreciate any other suggestions on what I can try (as - why the screen and keyboard are not powered by the computer).

    Thank you.

    The power supply could be good, it is best to test with a unit of work "known."

    My thoughts are, interestingly, spend the money on a 9 +-system years?

    But you can buy a motherboard Dell refurbished/used OEM for $24.99 + S & H from here:

    Note: Unfortunately, while you can make an informed diagnosis, sometimes computer troubleshooting, is diagnosis by substitution.

  • How much space there is in a Dell Mini Tower Insipron 3847 case?

    I know I should adapt to food and am looking at a power supply 650W, but will that an MSI GeForce GTX 970 fit in a Dell Mini Tower Insipron 3847 case?  I have the video card and you want to upgrade an Insipron unit.  Can't aford an Alienware at the moment.

    Thanks for any help.

    Corsair CS750M is minimum, updated recommended.  FAN single GPU cards 9 inches or fit shorter. If it has 2 or more fans top it will NEVER go in the case of 3847 without hacksawing the drive bays hard on and moving the hard drive to another location.

    10 inches to 12 inches is not physically going into the housing.

  • HIS HD 4670 Itceq in Mini-Tower Vostro 200?

    Hello

    I just bought a Vostro 200 Mini Tower System. It is not the slim version. Should be delivered soon. In any case, I wanted to upgrade the video card. The new HD4670 seems to be a perfect choice for the few non-hardcore games. The supply must be sufficient, there is no need for an additional power connector and the card seems to be low. However, the only 4670 card that is currently available is a model of SOUND that has a cooler Itceq attached. The thing is that, while the card is very short, it is a double-slot cooler design and requires little additional space. Could you get it someone please let me know if there is enough space below the graphics card to a dual-slot video card slot?

    Here is a picture of the card itself:

    http://www.hisdigital.com/NewImages/products/HD4670_IceQ_PCIe_500.jpg

    If anyone has any pictures of interiors of Vostro 200, it would be much appreciated.

  • Vostro 460 found network card Code 31 need to reboot 3 to 4 times

    I have 10 Vostro 460 s, network cards themselves not at startup.  You must restart the systems 3 - 4 times to get Windows to find network cards.  All the drivers are up to date.  This may be related to a Windows update, because the machine were very good for a month or two until an update is released.

    We have the same problem.  3 of the 11 Vostro 460 lack of NIC I totally agree with jason629. Call Dell for a new MB or get a new network card. I spent hours and hours to try to update the bios/driver, restart, unplug, reset MB, shaking. I ended up getting new network cards.

    Disappointed. Quailty of Dell is downhill.

  • OptiPlex 745 Mini-Tower - GFX card options?

    Hi all

    I own an optiplex 745 Mini-Tower and I want to install a graphics card. I read the manual and it says that its PCI Express slot is 16 x but I could not find anywhere a response on whether it is compatible PCI-E 2.0 or 3.0. This makes the choice of a quite difficult graphics card. I read somewhere that if I install a 3.0 card gfx, it would be "backward compatible" feel, he would work on a 2.0 interface (isn't that backward compatibility option depends on the entirely gfx card?) Some cards him and others not so I'm not mistaken).

    So, this is the case with this model, or it is indeed a 3.0 interface?

    Could I install a 3.0 card gfx or 2.0?

    Thank you.

    PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0 are very good.  PCI-E 2.1 or 3.0 may or may not be backward compatible. Some R4 R5 R9 of R7 of Sapphire cards do seem to work in older systems like the precision, etc. 490.  I used an ASUS GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 GT740 and it worked fine in my 745.

    The problem is that the profile for the 16 x power plug changes with version 2.1 and 3.0.  In addition, Sapphire will show they don't support UEFI BIOS systems with their R series cards.

    It is also why the older variety of version 1.0 or 2.0 cards often are not seen at all on the bus 3.0 on new computers.

    The Asus EAH6450 works very well in all models of Dell, in that I have tried.

    Not compatible with USFF or Micro because they have no slots.

    The only new parameter is the secure boot must be extinguished and CSM on for some cards to post.

    ASUS EAH 6450 SILENT card fits all models of Dell who have a Slot PCI - E, meaning that it does not work with USFF due to no expansion slot. The 6450 a 2 X the number of shaders as the 5450 doesn't.
