Simple question really, don't need to go into too much detail!

This is the card I am looking to get:

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=14984587710&product_uid=98063

I currently have a Dell 5150 that has PCI-E - any reason this card won't work?

Whilst we're here, if anyone has got any other recommendations, that'd be appreciated. Can't go any higher in price though and I'm no hardcore gamer, so please bear this in mind.

Thanks, PG.

That should work just fine as far as I can tell.

The '5150' has a x16 PCI-e slot which is specifically for a graphics card. You'll need to remove the old graphics card drives just to make totally sure with the installation but otherwise the card you're looking at should be fine. It doesn't require separate power unlike some higher end cards and there are obviously no SLI/crossfire issues as it's a single card in a non-SLI or crossfire motherboard.

Thanks for the responses guys, much appreciated. I will probably hang on for the card to drop in price even more, but this is certainly the one I have targetted.
