Can I put a x16 PCI-E video card in this?

http://www.mpccorp.com/ed/store/config.h…

It doesnt specify whether the expansion slot is PCI-E x8 or x16 or what, so can anyone help me out here and tell me if I can use a x16 video card on this? And if not, what kind may I use?|||it's a PCIe x16 slot so you can use either a PCIe x16 or even a PCIe 2.0 graphics card.

BUT, you will face another problem - the PSU. the specs say it's only a 300W PSU, so you can't go higher than a Geforce 9500 GT without upgrading the PSU.

e.g. for a Geforce 8800 GT you need at least a 450W PSU and for a Geforce 9800 GTX and higher a 550W/600W PSU is required.|||Well basically its a tough one to answer



Like you said it only states that it has onbboard graphics.

does not even tell you what motherboard it uses so apart from calling them to ask you will not know if it uses the X8 or 16X Lane Pci-E



16 would go into the 8X but then it would only run at 8X



Best sending them an email and keep the Reply incase u do buy it and they tell you its a 16X and in fact its an 8.

keep the reply as proof.
