I gave it to my computer guy. But I remember him saying I needed a new power supply to run it. Sorry I wasn't more help.

I would not buy that gpu if I were u it will not be able to cool properly in such a confined space I would get this in the link it is smaller and more powerful than the 650 ti boost. This all dependson the power connectors the you have if you don't have the ones that come on the GPU you can't power it on the original power supply you can replace the power supply but I don't know what will fit in the case soMSI Computer Video Graphic Card N760 2GD5/OC ITX

You may not even need a bigger power supply. It would be worth it to try without changing your power supply first. I'm running an i7 3930k, 32 gb ram, and two of these cards on only a 750 watt... Depending on the wattage if your stock power supply you should be okay!

Most likely, you can. As long as the machine has a free pci-e slot. If no slot, then if you have a removable pci-e VGA card, remove it and install this card. If your VGA card is soldered to your motherboard, you can disable it and install this card in the free slot. It's also possible to run this card in tandem with another card. You'll need to research that issue. I can't say if you'll need to upgrade your power supply. Check the MSI web site.

The GTX 650 Ti Boost will fit in the Alienware X51's case, but is likely to have overheating problems due to inadequate airflow. I really wouldn't recommend trying it. But it will fit, if you've got your heart set on it.

I have an X53E but everywhere I look online it states that the power supply is good for either. However, I personally cannot confirm it.

It should fit. I dont know if your alienware has a high enough power supply so support it though

Daniel, I would need some more info from your computer to determine for sure, but I think it is compatible. Example: there are many different Alienware X51 computer setups, i.e. Ax51R2-1438k or the AX51r-2683BK and so on. Best place to tell is your Motherboard manual specifications for compatible CPU's. they all may have the same socket but, each may have different compatibilities. Hope this helps.

They will, however I'd be more concerned about the size since for what I know the X51 is a fairly low profile form factor. The hyperx aren't big like the dominators or the vengeance from corsair but idk how cramped that case is on the inside.

If this is the same system as you have (http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/alien_autopsy_we_look_inside_alienware_x51#slide-0) then based on that article I would say this Graphics Card should fit, and also stay within the limits of power usage and heat for that setup.

No, you can't. For whatever reason, Acer decided to use a proprietary power supply with a custom connector to the motherboard that's not commercially available. There's no way to plug in a normal power supply. This means the PCI-Express slot for video cards is pretty much useless unless you find a card that can run off of the built-in 300W power supply.

Yes, but you can also probably get away with less wattage if you don't have any graphics card with it, I would say look for a 250 watt power supply.

Of course. It's a standard power supply, and it's only a few MM bigger then an 850 watt unit.It has 4 native gpu hook ups.

As long as you have an empty PCI Express x16 slot and a good PSU (500+ Watts) there shouldn't be any problem

Not sure,but if it will fit into the slot it should not be a problem.This power supply is the standard size

Yes, but I would suggest you have quality brand name power supply 550 watts or over.

I don't know if it would work. If it doesn't, you might try an adapter like this. http://www.amazon.com/Super-Power-Supply%C2%AE-5-5x2-1mm-5-5x2-5mm/dp/B00EA55GIC/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1389137396&sr=1-10&keywords=5.5x2.1mm+to+5.5x2.5

Yes this card WILL fit into the x51. I bought this exact card for my x51 to replace the gt 640 that was in it. You need the 330w power brick in order to use it, and you should get EVGA precision X software to underclock it just a TAD because sometimes while playing grphic intensive games like Metro Last Light it will max out on wattage usage and force the comp to restart. This is not an issue, as you can just lower the preferred power usage with the software. I bought an x51 just to have an itx comp to throw in the living room so I dont have to move my custom rig all over the place. But yes, this card will work fine.

Yes, this power supply will fit inside your case and is rated with enough power for a stock configuration. If you've added additional display adapters it may not be sufficient power depending on what you've added.

Its a 500 watt power supply you could probably google it. It shouldnt have much effect espically if you are already running a desktop.

No. Your power supply should come with the necessary inputs for it to get power.
