I know I know,this is a major noob question but ive been offered a alienware gaming pc for £300,it has an i5 4460 3.2ghz cpu and after looking online it seems this is much better than what I have now,thing is it has an old and not great gpu in it,if I bought it I would like to stick my gtx 970 in it and heres my question,the pc looks very slim by the photos (well compared to my coolermaster case I'm using now) and I'm not sure if a 970 will fit in it? or even if these pcs are made to be easily upgraded?

does anyone have experience with alienware pcs? and would it take my gtx 970 do you think? ive messaged seller but thought I would ask here as well

thanks
 
thanks for replys,im not sure which one it is but might be worth buying and putting parts from each together I suppose :) at the moment it has a gtx 745 or something in it,
 
If it's the X51 like others have said then It'd probably be easy to transfer it into a new case. You will be able to upgrade the GPU as it will be a ITX board so if you currently have atx it'd probably be worth it to get a new case.

thanks for reply,if I could I would rather just put my 970 straight into it lol as that's easiest option but for £300 I doubt I will come across anything cheaper for a while,i just wish my 970 would just slot straight in lol

I suppose even if I bought a new case it would make a cheap decent little gaming rig,well compared to what I have now lol
 
thanks for your help,unfortunatly I think hes sold it as got a message just now saying someone is coming out to look at it later today,guess I will wait a while to see if anymore bargains come up or maybe wait to see what zen is like.

thanks again
