Installing Geforce RTX 2060 Graphics in Dell 3847 Desktop

When you are ready to install a video card in your desktop computer, the first thing to always keep in mind is the size of the graphics card; mainly because you want it to fit inside the case available opening.

When you are installing a graphics card like those from nvidia let say, you will have to deal with the size they come as by default which is always more intended for custom built desktop computers; however if you are like me who want to use a branded computer like my dell inspiron 3847 desktop let say you are dealing with limited space inside the case.

With that said going with a branded desktop I always recommend the EVGA Graphic Cards more so than others, main reason is for their reputation on the unique design modifications they do to the video cards to the overall design; where some of them come with one cooling fan and others with dual fans so you have a choice on which one based on size will work best for you.

This very example was true when I wanted to install an nvidia geforce rtx 2060 graphics card inside my dell inspiron 3847 desktop computer; with that in mind I chose the Ultra KO Model which offers me the two fan design as well as overclocking capabilities; this particular model also comes in larger sizes however those as said is more intended for custom built desktop cases.

Overall the EVGA Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 KO Ultra was about 7-8 inches wide, which actually was smaller than the original geforce 1050 ti that I had installed about a year ago; even though it was smaller it was actually newer so it worked out doing this upgrade.

When installing any graphics card though is important to also install a power supply, considering how loyal I am to affordable well reputable companies; I decided to go with EVGA due to their line of nvidia graphic cards of all sizes and also due to their line of power supplies and even desktop cases too so it was a great brand to choose for my gaming customization.

The only three requirements for upgrading your desktop with a graphics card is simply having a pci-express slot on your motherboard which most desktop computers do, and then replacing your original power supply with a more voltage driven one like up to 500 watts on the minimum; and then your last requirement is making sure the size of the graphics card you choose will fit in the opening available inside your case and this is not so much for the power supply as they are all designed within the same dimensions for a desktop.

Besides the minimum required and the specifications to keep aware of, of course you may go beyond that like I did by adding cooling fans; even an led strip light inside to give it the look and feel of a custom gaming desktop.
