Lenovo Desktop 530s Graphics Card Upgrade

Hi,

I have a Lenovo Desktop 530s i7 12mg RAM, SSD and has the original Nvidia GTX 720 graphics card.

I would like to upgrade using a Nvidia GTX 1650 Ventus XS graphics Card.

My original power supply is 280W I managed to find a 500W power supply, also a conversion connector for the motherboard to convert 24 pin to 14 pin.

The new GTX 1650 graphic card height is around 11cm and therefore should fit, but I worried about the cards mounting bracket as I guessing these will be for a full size case and not a slim case, any thoughts whether it's possible to fit a GTX 1650 Ventus XS into a Lenovo Desktop 530s, would be much appreciated?

Hi ExMale, how do I tell if it's a 9th gen or 4th gen, all I can see on the Manufacturers label is type 10131. It also states it was manufactured in august 2014, if that helps?

Thanks Marttheoldone.

The power supply was a FUENTE TFX 500W TOOQ TQEP-TFX500S-O OEM find via a youtube 530s upgrade video, as it was difficult to locate a power supply to fit in the slim desktop.
