    What motherboard do you have? Anyway you will be fine as long as you have a free PCIE16x slot, which I presume your dead card was taking up.

    Just make sure you know the limitations of your system, a high end pci-e card will not work in the 5000 due to the psu. The best you could hope to escape with is a 7900GS, the best that'll definitely work without issue would be something like a 7600GT.
