If you have a full tower, most PCIe cards will effort very well. If you have a desktop or small form factor your option will be restricted due to the necessity of a low profile video card. I'm having a hard time trying to find the specifications of your certain computer. I think you need to first visit the official site of the dell and then find your system configuration. It also mentions the compatible video card. Use any one and then insert it onto your system.
