Alienware gpu upgrade

[Nabroc]

Working on upgrading the card in my pc. I’m currently running an RTX 3060, and that just doesn’t cut it today. I don’t know a ton about pc specs, so if a key detail is missing, I'll add it. The machine is an Alienware Aurora R13, and I got it mid-pandemic. It currently has, I believe, a 1k-watt PSU, but I'm not totally sure. It’s a 12 gen i7 cpu(original) has 64 gigs ddr5 4400 ram(originally 16 gigs ddr5 4400 ) and 2.5 tb internal storage and 2 tb external. It came with 500 GB of storage, and I upgraded it. Now that I’ve roughly covered the interior, which cards would fit and not require a ton of extra work to accommodate power?

can you take it apart a bit to figure outt your PSU 100%, then we will know. To be honest, your pc airflow design is not the best, a 5070ti would be a good upgrade.  use the dell website https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ca. a 5070 would also work. Avoid the 9070XT, its a good card but needs a lot of cooling.

Max GPU length probably around 300mm, at least according to one Reddit thread.

 

In terms of power connector, anything with 1 or 2 slots of 6pin or 8pin connector. Not sure if Aurora R13 has 12VHPWR connector, would prefer older type connectors when upgrading pre-built PC.

That strongly depends on the game, resolution and graphics settings.
