What Graphics Card Do I Need to Play DAI (Dell Inspiron 660S)?
Hello all,
My boyfriend bought me DA:I for my birthday, but I'm not sure my pc can handle it. I have a Dell Inspiron 660S, and I do not currently have a graphics card installed (just been using the built in graphics Intel provides). Skyrim is the most recent game I own, and while it's playable I have issues with the areas not loading fully (leading to my character being attacked by invisible enemies and me having to play on easy difficulty to avoid certain death). This frustration leads me to believe it's time for an upgrade, but I'm not sure what to get.
From the internet research I've done, it seems like the small case I have will limit my options greatly. I also don't know how to check what power supply I have, which looks like it would also be a factor. I'm not really concerned about price since I know I won't have a lot of options, but I would prefer to get something more powerful that will last me a while. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Since low profile video graphics cards are seldom available in gaming-capable high performance GPU designs, and those cards are very demanding of power, a replacement enclosure is the first order of business. You do not need a "large" PC case, medium will be adequate, but any "slim" or "Small Form Factor" cases must be replaced. (The "Slim" 660s will show up below.
