Ah yes, nothing like spending $155 when you could spend $15 on a used PCI card and have the same functionality.

Try to read the OQ before you post.

If you had you'd know that the OP doesn't have a graphics card.


Anywho - you're gonna need to open it back up, and tell us what slots you do have, or take a picture so we can work it out.

The problem is, Dell will swap the motherboard for one without a PCI-e slot, if you opt for no graphics card, therefore forcing you to get a PCI one.

But it shouldn't really be a problem, going by you're specs you don't want/need an amazing card anyway.

Also you're current specs won't be a problem, because it will all be handled by the GPU that you buy, not by anything you already have.
