Get a 750TI. It requires no extra power connector.

id be curious to see if you get any of the cards at that price. None of them stayed at that price long, or are in stock. Did you get the card?

As you can see here, the HD cage, clips in, on the blue clip, onto a post stuck into the motherboard. From the blue clip to the back of the case, is about 6.9 inches.

1. What do other optiplexs have to do with anything? We were talking 390s. 2. Plenty of low profiles wont fit in the SFF 390s. You said "all low profiles will fit". Just isn't true. There is only 6.9 inches in clearance. There are low profile cards that are longer than that, as the other...

I would wait for the 950s, as that seems probably the target for you. If budget and time is also what your looking at, I would consider a 750ti. Due to the release of the 950, the 750 ti has dropped into the $120 range. Esp since you are playing at 1440x900. This for 119.99 might be hitting...

no that's not it. I have the 2nd one from your post #28. http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Nvidia-Profile-Graphics-Bracket/dp/B00LFLXRIU/ref=sr_1_1?tag=skim1x161613-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1439101736&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+730+gt+low+profile if you look at the American amazon version you can see it has...

You understand what im saying though right? I had over 40 of these 390s running in my stores. I am well versed in them. When they had and issue it was ALWAYS the crappy PSU in these machines failing on me. The 740s put a lot more strain on the PSU than the 730 models do. They being said "low...

The 1st card you linked is close to being too long... there is a little less then 7 inches clearance...this says its 6.9 inches long....tight. 2nd card you listed is the evga. That's the card ive put into 4 of these 390s now. Runs great and has been able to mincraft with ease along with a...

No one said, it came in a USFF. Prot4lzz was correct it saying did I have the smallest 390, I do, the SFF version, just as he stated. And as u can see, not every 740, and 750 will fit. But even more concerning is the PSU. It is only 240 watts in the 390. A 730 GT only uses 25W. The 740 uses...

yes I have the SFF case. Great card for the price. Its still running all the games he wants. Wont last forever, but its been a great purchase for what I needed it for. Low power, fits in my case, and a great budget card to run games that my 11 year old plays.

sm625 I ended up getting that card, the evga 730 gt, but with 2 gig of ddr5, not 1 gig, for the same price. $79. very happy with the purchase. easy install, quiet, and runs super smooth, and its playing all the games he wants for now with ease.

IN - thank you! those are the cards I have been eyeing, I think i will be getting one of those. CBN - you tempt me with your graphs. He doesnt have a HD monitor yet (but i suspect its coming soon).... so he will be gaming at the resolution..... hmmmmm. THank you guys, I really am trying to...

thanks IN! God info, esp the gddr5. I agree about the budget thing.... but its not even my kid, its just a friends, who cant afford a pc, and the 10 year old pc the kid was using died. So i was trying to do my best to keep costs down as i am paying for it. I already added 4 gigs of ram, and so i...

thanks guys, i got a lot of great info that is helping me make a decision. The boy I am building it for is 10, and im trying to keep the costs down as much as I can. I didnt want to break $100, so I was hoping to see what the best card under $100 was....but I will have to consider these 750s. :)

Ken - 17a on the 12 rail. Cerb - i didnt see the low profile bracket in it the 1st time, it was listed at 4.76 inches which was too big. I see the LP bracket now. Just dont think I want to spend $130. Also they seem to require 400w psu. I only have 240 watts. think im leaning towards that 740...
