Do I have a gpu slot? - JetzoFly - 03-24-2014 11:13 PM

Yes, it's the first slot under the CPU.
@Hello: AFAIK NO GPU was ever made for an ordinary PCI slot. Those pre-PCI-Exporess ones plugged into AGP.

Yes you do.
Under that fan you have a PCI express x16 (the one on top), two PCI express x1 (the middle ones), and the bottom is PCI.
The PCI express x16 is used for most graphics cards and other things. Some older or cheaper cards may use regular PCI instead of the express slot.
Make sure your card is compatible with your motherboard.

Yes you do. The one right below the CPU is a PCI express slot that will fit a GPU. I cant really see the image properly, but if it has a hook in front of it, it is a PCI express slot. Although, i see that your case isnt quite big, so i will recommend you to get a bigger case, unless you have it all figured out already.
