Actually this is my friend's CPU. I suggested him 5670 but i have doubt whether it will fit or not. When i saw his G310 at back.....

I saw that the graphic card had only 2 ports. But normal graphic cards have 3 ports @ back. So i want to know if i can get a GPU for this PC ? Pls suggest a GPU.............

The budget is upto 6k not more than that.

PC Config(currently):
Intel Core i3 @ 2.93 GHz
4GB DDR3 1066 MHz RAM

he can try a low profile GPU but they are hard to find. let me check.

Asus & Sapphire HD5570 have some low profile cards but availability may cause some problem.

look here. most of the sub 5k cards are low profile. call them & ask which one is avl in stock if your friend don't mind buying online.

^^ He's gonna buy it from UAE.
I just checked ASUS & Sparkle GT430 1GB DDR3.

When i checked ASUS 5570 , i had a doubt whether its low profile bracket will fit or not.

Will this bracket be a problem ?

should fit. the slim cabinets are maufactured according to some pre defined standards i think. if so, it'll fit.

also GT430 is slower than HD5570. & cost more.

Try a low profile gt240. Its fast enough and i guess almost close to a 5670 sans dx11 support.
