*cough* hi - Bert John - Jan 18 2016
hi... Yeah... i havent posted in ages, Havent played too much online stuff due to ping/connection issues. anyways im creeping out from my hole due to GPU fan is failing or beginning to anyways. Thus i decided to upgrade slightly due to budget limitations. Nothing fancy but something just to up what i got already and not break pockets. Oh i already found the GPU in mind but id like to confirm it with others that it will fit inside and won't run into complications.

Now, Before you go and say "Upgrade already! that things so old!" or along those lines, i can't right now due to personal reasons and im gonna leave it at that. the motherboard needs to be replaced with a new one to support ddr3 ram or even a new OS like windows 7 or 8 or even 10. But i cant right now so im just changing GPU's & Upping my RAM.
Now, The GPU i had in mind and got recommend via reddit/r/buildapc/ was the GeForce 730 GT 1GB Low profile Link here: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487051
And ram should fit but ill list it anyways: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146057
Note: I do know that the system WILL probably lower the current ram speeds to compensate for the mushkin ram pieces but the greater amount of RAM will help greatly so i find that acceptable.
What id like to know is if this will: Fit into the PC Correctly in the back slot, Fit into the motherboard. I got a 500w power supply so it should be good to run in this PC as is since it uses 300W and 9600 gt supposedly uses 400W.
Lastly, I uploaded some photo's of the PC to give you can idea of what it looks like inside due to the fact i don't know what the case is like:

Also that cat is my cat, Kitten. Resolution on the photo's is great isn't it, 6mb per file took forever to upload on 0.3 upload.
Specifications:
Case: 19 inchs long, 18 inchs tall, 8 inchs wide.
GPU: 9 inchs long, 1 inch tall, ??? Wide(I didnt bother to measure that)
