Inspiron 3880

Inspiron 3880

I wanted to add a GPU in my pc but I am worried will the graphics card be obstructed by the two things which are right to the pch (right to the pcie) the things that says magic 1r5 and a pole and well as wlan

that should be fine.  Note some gtx 1650 (such as EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 SC ULTRA GAMING, 04G-P4-1057-KR) requires a 6 pin PCIe connector.  In that case you can upgrade psu to 360 Watt Power Supply PSU L360EGM-00 K38XP H360EGM-00 VM8KR.

There were only 2 PSU available in the Inspiron 3880, a 200W and a 260W. Keeping that in mind the GT 1030 (with GDDR5 memory) is probably the best fit and will be nowhere near the capacitor or the wireless adapter. Any GPU larger would require a larger, in wattage, PSU.

No worries motherboard chip and WLAN card are both lower profile than pciex16 slot itself which is raised above motherboard platform level. Graphics card installation will have good vertical clearance from those.  What you might need to be concerned about is max length of video card or horizontal clearance of 3880 chassis.  Chassis depth is 293 mm (11.54 in.)

user benchmark shows a 270 mm card EVGA, RTX 2080 Super KO Gaming, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 can be installed in 3880.  this card is definitely long that it hovers over WLAN card etc. without vertical clearance issue.

basic online psu calculator estimates Load Wattage: 252 W
Recommended PSU Wattage: 302 W

(based on i7-10700,16gb,nvme+7.2khdd,dvd)

so you will be good to go with 260w psu, which meets load wattage (max pc may consumer in typical real world scenario)
