Ive never upgraded or really worked with pc parts and i want to upgrade from my integrated gpu to a dedicated card.

 

Will a gtx 950 (17cm long) fit in my pc? Please look at everything carefully because it seems as if some other things are blocking it but i have no clue.

 

*the mobo say "minipciex1" so if thats important it is a 17cm gpu*

 

Thanks!

Yeah it will fit. Just shift your wifi antennas down one slot or something. The expansion slot covers can be removed.

You should be able to fit it just fine. I had the Asus M52BC, and was able to fit my Radeon R9 390 in it. (It was a bit of a snug fit, but it will fit)

Yeah Ram clips MIGHT be an issue. But you can just trim off some of the plastic on them and be fine. 

In mine, it was a snug fit, but it did fit. They use the same case, but I believe it is a different mobo.
