From that info alone, I can't work out what Motherboard you have. Your motherboard needs to have a PCI-Express slot. Check the documentation that came with your PC and either tell us what make and model your motherboard is or look it up yourself.

k so there should be some paper work that tells me the motherboard type I have?

your computer dosent have a pci-express slot most likley you only have pci

Dell computers are, I've heard, awful for upgrading as they are mostly designed for Dell components and/or it's original configuration, although it's not impossible if you have the right motherboard I would presume.

I think he has PCIe if this is what he has http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/basdt_b110?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs#
Open up your CP case and compare your motherboard one by one and see if you have all the drive bays this computer in the picture has there is a slot that looks like an AGP slot on top of the white PCI slots if you have that your computer does have PCIe slot if not you gonna have to stick with PCI card I know for sure that Dell does not make or didn't make too many lower/mid range PCs with an AGP slot. If you don't know what I'm talking about save that page and have friend look at it for you.
Like the man before me said Dell doesn't not make too many good gamer PCs.

Good luck.

No, it's a good "get-what-you-pay-for" card.

Yeah I had that in my mind Celeron and PCIe. But the Dell B110 PC in the link does have PCIe and powered by Celeron... At the 360 degree PC pic on the right side you can see the actually MOB and see the PCIe slot.....Hmm Amazing.

Ps. The link is dead.

Before you go ahead and buy the card please double check and make sure that you do have the appropriate slot.
