Can't say I'd recommend that switch personally.
Umm... You're not trying to put that card in the PCI slot are you? Assuming that's the videocard that came w/the computer above those 2 PCI slots - remove that and take a picture of the slot underneath. Just remove the card above and put the new one in its place.Mo the Hawk said:

Now that I'm thinking more clearly, the pin connectors probably do line up with the slots just fine. I just can't get the card in because:
- The slots on the mobo have the smaller segment on the right side
- The card's pins have the smaller segment on the left side
And as you can see from that mess of jagged metal to the left of my mobo, I cut that part of the case out by force just to make room. I thought I could get away with installing the card with the monitor connectors inside the case, but then I realized that the big metal hunk holding the monitor connectors extends downwards too far for the card's pins to ever fully sink into the slots anyway. Yeah - I'm a dumbass.
So I guess I need a card whose monitor connectors are next to the larger segment of its pin connectors. Do such cards exist, or is my mobo just ass-backwards?
If the 4350 fit in there, the 5750 will fit in there they'll have the same connection and fit in the same slot, I can't really make head nor tail of what's going on in thos pictures, sorry. But you can't just "decide" to have the monitor hookups inside your case, they go in the sma place regardless of the card.
Its shit like this why I always recommend going with a custom build though, knowing exactly what is in your case and knowing that its all 100% industry standard saves so many headaches.
You're probably going to have a pain hooking up the PCIe power connector from the card as well, as your Dell PSU likely doesn't have one nor any molex connectors for an easy conversion.
Edit: On reflection its pretty clear you're trying to jam it in a PCI slot, no wonder it doesn't fit, its not suppose to. You need to remove the 4350 first and then place it in the slot you took that out of. Now, powering the card is going to prove a bitch, what spare hookups does your PSU have?
You'll probably have to buy a couple of these and then use the adpater that came with your card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812816038
Its not guaranteed to work after this either, its why I'd have said to just buy a 4670, sure its not as fast, but it'd save so many headaches.

Going to buy a new one + a new Surge Protector that actually works.
Any Recommendations?

Thank you SuperEnemyCrab and others for pointing out my stupidity... I can remove the 4350 and insert the 5750 into the mobo now. Progress!
Just one problem: what the hell do I do with this guy?
(That left-most hole is totally empty, which might be some cause for alarm of a faulty part? I don't know)
Actually, don't answer that first question. I know exactly what it's for, because this was on the packaging:
There just aren't any connectors coming out of my power supply that even remotely match that cable.
Thanks for the link to that molex adapter, brain_stew, but I feel like I'm better off buying a whole new PSU. I'm just now noticing that its max DC output is 300W, and I can't find a minimum wattage for the 5750 (EDIT: found on Newegg - needs at least 450W), but I highly doubt 300W will be enough. I should be good to go if I get one that includes a 4-pin connector, right? (Assuming that this cable that came with the card is supposed to have only three pins)
Things are moving quickly now... thank you to everyone who is tolerating my ignorance.

Well a decent PSU should survive a power surge just fine if it has the necessary protection. Not much of an issue here in the UK though, we actually have a decent electrical supply, unlike that third world shit you use in the states! Heh.
Your PSU absolutely can power that card. The "missing pin" thing is a non issue, its supose to be like that. That connector you showed me is called a molex, how many of them is their from the wire included with your GPU?
What spare hookups do you have coming from your PSU? A couple of SATA power cables (flat and probably black)? What you need to do is convert them SATA cables, to molex then to a PCIe 6 pin plug which goes into your GPU. If your GPU just needs the one molex hookup and your PSU has a couple SATA power cables just buy that adapter I linked, job done.
Now if its more than one you need to hookup or your PSU doesn't have any power cables spare, its probably time to buy a new PSU. However, not all Dells use standard ATX PSUs (though I believe most do these days), so you need to check up to see if your model can take a standard ATX PSU. If it does just buy that OCZ model I linked earlier for a previous poster. You can probably understand why I never recommend people buy off the shelf PCs now? :lol

okay. it does. Going to place an order now.brain_stew said:
EDIT: done
now i wait for it to come grr.brain_stew said:
Only one cable came with the GPU: PCIe 6-pin on one end (goes into the card just fine), and the 4-pin (molex you say?) on the other. And I have exactly one spare flat-and-black (SATA?) connector coming out of the PSU for free use.
But before I go buying that adapter, let me reiterate:
- PSU's max DC output is 300W
- The 5750 requires 450W or greater
So are you absolutely positive that my PSU will power this card? Or won't cause overheating or anything? If not, that's fantastic, but you'll understand if I'm skeptical...

Mo the Hawk said:
Yes, those figures mean sweet F all. Your rig probably won't draw much more than 200w at absolute max load, a proper 300w PSU, which is what Dell ship, will manage that just fine. Those figures are for the crappy PSUs that ship with inflated figures.
Double check that the adapter has the two connections you need, the pictures should tell you all you need to know.
Just checked some gaming benchmarks and you have a point with regards to that.brain_stew said:

Ok my mini upgrade to go into 2010 is almost complete.
Have my ram upgrade done, and got my GTX260 ordered. Now I'm looking at possibly finishing this off with a CPU upgrade.
I have my e2160 hovering at 2.9ghz, between the Ram and video card I have 50 dollars in rebate money coming so I'll probably put it towards a cpu. I was gonna go with an e8400, but I dont think its price to performance will be worthwhile from what I have right now.
So, E5200 versus e7500. I can basically get an e5200 for free with my rebates coming or an e7500 for about 60 bucks. E7500 stock speed is what my e2160 is running at right now, and I could push it further. E5200 stock speed is 2.5ghz, so I'm thinking the E7500 should have a little more head room. What would you choose between the two chips?

okay. i figured out the problem. my PSU is fine (Paid for a new one anyways lol). It was due to my stupid move installing ram.
the ram is suppose to work with my PC which i don't know what i'm doing wrong. i put it in and turn PC on it beeps. it takes DIMM DDR2 RAM. It fits in there but IDK. Okay. there's 4 Slots. 2 white and 2 black. I put the new ram parallel to the other ram. Nothing. Placed them one slot after the other. Didn't work. Placed them into the white Slot. Nothing. Is it possible that I can't use DIMM Ram with Dual Channel Ram?
But when I replaced the stock Ram. power goes out half of my room. :lol. I Need something to manage power or start taking things out of my room.

You won't see any benefit from them upgrades. Maybe try and get a better clock out of your E2160 is the best I can suggest. Quad core or bust.

Try with just one stick and then up the voltage to your memory controller (MCH) in your BIOS by one notch, then reboot with 4 sticks. Many boards can be finicky with 4 sticks, and sometimes they need the extra voltage.
Failing that, try booting with each stick individually and running memtest on each one, you might have a faulty stick.
Alright I'll pocket the money and perhaps spend it on some games on steam. I do want torchlight.
My memory timings are tighter than the ram I'm currently using, and doesn't require as much voltage to run. Maybe I can get a stable overclock a little higher that would be great. If I knew I could hit 3.5 ghz on the E5200 I would grab it right now...but if I can only push it to 3.0ghz or 3.2 ghz it isn't much better than what I have at the moment.
So quad core has come around for gaming? I might have to look into that again.

Well I'm running mine at 3.6ghz but it was a bitch to get there. The FSB craps out pretty early on the E5xx chips. If you do decide to get one, go for the E5300, its only $3 more and the higher multi will come in handy.

Just posting to say thanks again to brain_stew, SapientWolf, and MoFuzz. The video card's working in my PC finally, without the new PSU even. The problem was... frustratingly basic, but I have an excuse.
And that was true, except there was a BIOS update released a long time ago that I never installed, because it just had two tiny fixes, and it caused my BIOS video to flicker on my old card. Now what did that update do?
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGCRA820G&upd_id=1714&os_id=16
And since my video card way back when was fine at the time, and it caused problems instead of fixing them for me... needless to say, head was met with desk. It's working fine now, I first tested it with TF2, and everything's ridiculously shiny.
So thanks again for all the help, I do appreciate it.

Oh well. I'll try not to kill my PC before the new PSU comes in.
I also have a question about the Ram. I have 2 DDR2 Ram. Which way am I suppose to put it in? I See notches but both sides are the same. And the where the gold connector are the notch is perfectly in the middle. One side has the chip. the other doesn't.

I would replace the GTX 260 with a 5850/5870, but you probably can't find one anyway, so this will do fine for D3. 12GB of RAM is also a little excessive.

Hey GAF, I'm planning on building a new PC soon since my 3 year old PC is getting kinda dated and noisy.
The PC will mainly be used for HTPC purposes (Playing MKVs, import DVDs and FLAC files) with 1 or 2 games in the mix (Diablo 3 is really the only thing I can think of) and if possible for guitar recording and editing.
I'm looking for something that is as silent as possible and my budget is around 1000.
For the graphics card I've pretty much decided that a ATI 5850 is a good choice but haven't made my mind about the rest of the components so I turn to GAF for advice.
Edit: I've also looked at building a mini-ITX based HTPC but the computer I'm looking for would be connected to a Samsung T220(1680x1050 res) and to a Pioneer Kuro 1080p(I hope)
and I'm not sure if those mini-ITX solutions are able to decode MKVs properly and pass them through HDMI.

If you want the computer for gaming, You could get much better bang for buck by getting NCIX to build + ship it to you. You'd see better gaming performance for less by going with an i5 + Radeon 5850.

Well its a really nice rig and all but you're paying nearly $500 too much in my eyes. You can actually spec up a better gaming rig for $500 less, and what exactly do you need 12GB of RAM for? If you don't have a specific use for it, then you don't need it, trust me. 6GB is a heck of a lot of RAM.

You really don't want to be using an old IDE drive for your system drive, think of this as a favour. HDDs have increased in speed a huge amount since IDE drives were ditched. Pick up a 500GB Samsung F3 if they stock them.

yea i figured i could get a PC built for cheaper if i went with the ideal website etc.. But i was buying a computer for my daughter as well so i just financed the systems.. i ordered them a few hours ago.
Thanks for the input guys!! 12 gigs of ram is def excessive but at least in a year or 2 i should still be able to run the top of the line games with that much.
Anyone know much about the CPU i'm getting? is that the newest on the market? well semi newest from intel

The most important part for games is the video card which is why I wouldn't have recommended $1500 on a computer with a mid-range card from 2008. Well as long as you're happy. The i7 is one of the top range processors.edwardslane said:
