XPS 8000 Video Card Fit
I have an XPS 8000 with the 350W PSU and a GTS240 video card. Apparently the new Windows 10 May update has a problem with the driver version for this card so I'm looking for another card. I'm not a gamer so I've been looking at the Nvidia GT 1030. My problem is I don't understand if I need low profile or single slot or if a card that says 1.5 slots. I was told that low profile cards are required for SFF cases and I don't know if the XPS 8000 has one. I've been looking at 2 versions made by EVGA and wonder if I would have problems with either. Links to the specs for the two are https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-6338-KR and https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-6333-KR.

I have determined that I want the EVGA'S GT 1030 (https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-6333-KR) because of price and EVGA's reputation. I'm not looking for an upgrade to the GTS 240 but just a newer architecture so that the driver will work on Windows 10 2004. I really just need to know if this card will fit in the XPS 8000 because the EVGA website says it requires 1.5 slots. If not, I could go to Gigabyte which is cheaper.

GT1030 does not require a power supply upgrade

You will need hdmi to vga because pascal cards dont have vga ports.
