Topic: I'm dumb with these new fangled computer towers

These slim and thin towers I see while browsing some sites, are they customizable? My video card is still pretty decent and better than the basic shit most computers come with. But with these thin towers, can I still transfer my video card into it (assuming the PCI-e slot is there)?

If not I was probably gonna get this one from Dell

I currently have this. To give you an idea, I couldn't play WoW without everything being med-low settings since The Burning Crusade (haven't tried WotLK).

You could easily get the same computer I have for probably a little over the cost of that pre-built.
It's a year and a half old but it can run everything at max just fine.

You could always resort to watching youtubes of how to install parts

I priced out my current computer on Newegg lsat December at $1,700. This is without the monitor.

I ended up buying it from Dell with a 21" monitor for $1,400.

Dell can be really inexpensive if you buy at the right time.

personal fitness is compelling that reading the OP of a thread is just out of the question

or maybe one of these

but personally I'd just buy a Dell and plop a video card in there nowadays

The computer was a Christmas bonus, so I was able to splurge a bit.
