Its funny cuz that card doesn't even exist.

THEY EVEN SAY IN THE DESCRIPTION THAT ITS A 1050M GPU WHICH IS A MOBILE GPU. You can't put mobile graphics cards in a desktop computer. Oh yeah it also says in the title that its FASTER THAN A GTX 950TI. BRO MY GRANDMAS APU IS FASTER THAN A GTX 950TI THAT AIN'T A BIG FEAT. I'm just so confused....

Actually you can solder a PCB to a PCIe connector and make it work, or just find a PCB with a compatible layout for the GPU and transplant it 

 

But yes this is likely either fake or some other kind of scam. In case you didn't notice, the 950 ti also does not exist for desktops.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yeah but normally they don't try to scam people out of buying a card that doesn't even exist.

This is absolutely a thing that happens. It's not uncommon in the least.

Cards that don't exist, cards that claim to be one thing but are actually another, cards that don't work at all, and were never intended too... they all exist.

You absolutely can get scammed for anything you can think of.

I dont want to sound facetious but you appear a bit naive on this subject.
