Couldn't tell you about the GTX but I had a PNY 9800GT in my Dell Dimension 4700 (same motherboard as yours) and it fit no prob. I upgraded my CPU to a 3.8 GH 570J & maxed out my RAM to 4 gigs. Ended up taking the PNY back & got a Radeon 4850.
It also fits with no probs. You may want to upgrade your PS. My rig plays Chrysis, UT3, Doom3, Gears of War, Dead Space & COD on high at 1440-900 res. Some games at 4x-AA & some with AA turned off.

Your chipset does in deed support PCI-e :)
There is now a question of if your power supply can handle it.

This is a very good point. I bought a graphics card for a Dell Inspiron 530s and it fit perfectly in the slot and I'm sure it would have worked well with my chipset. The problem was that my power supply didn't have enough power in it to run the video card. My system wouldn't even power on whenever I had the video card in. I ended up returning it because I didn't want to replace my power supply too.
-
Should have an ATX board if you want to use that card. It looks huge, lengthwise that is.
I have a microATX case, HP model Sr1630NX with the board being 8.2 in x 9.6 in. Now I'm wondering if the HIS 4670 will fit in it (not be too long)? I looked on the website of HIS and I'm wondering if what they list as card dimensions is the PCB only or does it include the IceQ cooler which is a bit longer than the PCB itself and the end of the fan extends bit off the board. Anyone know?
-
well i got the graphics card in the end and it fitted into my system but the power supply happened to be a problem.
when given the option to upgrade my power supply on the dell website it gave me 2 options of upgrading to a 650W or a 800W power supply, so i assumed mine was a 500W power supply but when i looked on my power supply unit it said 350W :(, im considering getting this power supply http://www.ebuyer.com/product/102994 (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/102994) it seems to support all my components and is very cheap. what do you guys think, will it work with my system?
thanks a bunch for all the help guys
-
This power supply should be fine, however, I do remember Dell using non standard PSU's in their machines for a while, and Patio seems to always know which ones are and which ones aren't, try PMing him.
-
Well I suggest you go for the upgrade if your budget allows. Dell PSU's are not bad, it's just they generally only provide enough power for stock system with the option of adding some more ram sticks and a graphics card requiring noine of those 6 pin or 8 pin connectors.
But http://web.aanet.com.au/SnooP/psucalc.php has a nice PSU calculator so you can estimate how much your system requires. But don't go running any graphics card with that 350 W PSU if it's requiring at least a 6 pin PSU connector.

My Dimension 4400 uses a standard PSU- so should the 5000, Assuming the 5000 was made after the 4400.
-
well ive asked Patio and he said that the dell dimension 5000 uses the standard PSU so i have ordered that PSU and it should be able to provide my computer with enough power thanks guys.
m_260 i checked that website and it seems to be missing every component that my computer has so i cant test my power usage

Ok, that's fine, it's a decent website, but of course not all decent websites fit everyone's needs. But yeah, if you got good wattage output and decent rail amps ... especially that 12V rail ... then you are set. ;D
