I want to get a pretty good graphix card. I see zotac gtx 970 is pretty good but i want to know what i will need for it or if it will even work with my computer. I have a dell xps 8500 with 12g ram and an i7 processor http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/xps-8500_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdfand im not sure if this will fit. Also will i need a new PSU? If i do what suggestions as to what i should get price is not a problem.

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.

Is this a tower or one of those monitors that have the computer in them? 

CPU: G3258 @ 4GHz GPU: Gigabyte GTX 960 OC RAM: 8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 SSD: Corsair LS 120GB Case: Antec GX500 Mouse: Logitech G402 Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Headphones: Shure SRH440 Microphone: That Zalman Zm-Mic1 that everyone recommends but noone uses

Remember when the R9 280 was the HD 7950? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

well i mean i dont know if thats a joke but its a tower the specs are in that link i gave

do you know if you have a pci 16x gen 3 or 2 slot, might be on the page. Mind taking the side panel off and taking a look at your psu if it has a 8 pin pci e and a 6 pin pci e cable. It should also say who makes the psu on the side along with Watt, what are the watts and the amps on the 12 volt rail. It doesn't say in the spec sheet, i think, im really tired.
