Dell studio xps 8000 upgrade
Hi there, i got a dell studio xps 8000 And i would lIke to upgrade it, I want a new graphic card and have been looking on a zotac GeForce gtx770 4gb, but I don't know wether it fits or the motherboard supports it. I want to keep the chassis but any other upgrades willbe great.
If you got any further upgrade ideas or needs I would appreciate it very much.
I got about 1000 dollars to upgrade it.
I currently got a gtx 260 in it and an intel core i7 860 or 870, I cannot remember.

The cooling is inadequate for a high-powered video card and the power supply is marginal. Then again, you could move the motherboard into a third-party case.

Hello PatrickSirich,
Dell Studio XPS 8100 was never tested with the zotac GeForce GTX770. The dimension of this card is 10.5" x 4.38" x 1.38". Hence before purchasing the card, I would suggest you to take the computer to a local store and check if the graphics card work on the system.
Please Note: The Zotac GeForce GTX770 requires minimum of 600W Power Supply.
Hope this helps!
