I don't see any information that tells us how much room you have inside your case. It would probably be best to find out the length of an 8800GT and then open up your case and measure.

Well unless you have an unusually large hard drive cage, yes it will fit.

I would however be concerned about this oh so descriptive spec from your link to your PC specs:

  • Power device type Power supply
You might find you need a new power supply. Open up the case and see what's in there (total watts and amps on the 12 volt rails) and whether it has a 6 pin (3x2) power connector for the card and let us know what you find out.

IT is a 400 watt power supply with a 12v combined A of 30 and the 8800GT is 9 inches long.

It will more than likely fit.

I manage to fit a 8800gts 320mb into a HP Pre-build,and that's about the same length as a 8800gt and about 3x the width!

Worst-case scenario,you move you HD up or down a slot to fit the card in.But TBH I think it will fit allright.
