As I said earlier. Better make sure it fits your case too. I see that problem on forums all the time. Someone buys a new card and they can't install it because it's to big.
This is true. After I installed mine the computer began shutting off when trying to boot. While it fit the case it was thicker than the old one and I noticed it was running hot. The tv tuner (whatever you call it) card below was obviously affecting the fan so I had to move it down a slot. Once I did that and let it cool down it's worked great.
