Will this GPU work?

[Kiritium]

Hi, I am using a Dell Inspiron 530 Core 2 Quad with the stock motherboard, FoxConn DG33m03. I was wondering if the gtx 460 will work with this motherboard? If not, what gpu will work with this motherboard?

It'll work fine. Only problem I can see is the RAM slots might be in the way if the card has an overly bulky heatsink or shroud. It may also partially hang over your SATA ports if it's long. Otherwise go for it.

The recommend psu is 400w. However i only have a 350w psu. Is it possible it will still run? Btw i have a hd3650 in it right now.

Ehh, you'd be cutting it really close. I don't think I'd trust a 350W Dell to handle that 460. They are quite power hungry. Your HD 3650 draws half the power of that GTX 460.

Then do you know of any gpus that can run at 350W?

There's a few. The GTX 750 ti for instance is a great little card and will fit your system very well. You could squeeze an R7 250X or R7 260 in there but it would cut it really close. And the new GTX 950 draws way too much unfortunately.

 

So GTX 750 Ti would be your best bet. GTX 650 would also work in a pinch, but not the Ti version.

I have eyes on a 400w psu that has 1x24 pin, 1x 4 pin cpu, 2x 6 pin pcie, 4x sata and 1x molex. What exactly is a molex pin? 

I am not sure if that is compatible with my computer right now.

 

Computer specs:

 FoxConn DG33m03

1x 2TB SATA disk

1x 500GB SATA disk

RW Disk Drive

Lastly, maybe the 460 if this works with the rest of my com.

Edit: I found a new 500w silverstone psu that will definitely work with my pc and can support the 460 too.

That's good news.

 

FYI Molex is a legacy 4 pin power connector, used to be for hard drives and others before SATA power became common, now it is used for things like pumps, fans and controllers.

Hi. I found another card, the HD 6770 that cost cheaper than the gtx 460. Some have said that it runs with his 250W power supply which is pretty amazing since the website says it runs at 400W recommended. Do you think it is possible it will run with my 350W then? The HD 3650 which i am running right now supposedly uses more max TDP than the hd 6670.

 

Edit: Should i get the 6670 or the 7750? The 7750 is more expensive but alot says it is alot better than the 6670. Both still uses less TDP than the HD3650.
