The AMD Radeon HD 6670 (single-slot card) did not require any additional power connector (needed max 66 W power).
Being a dual-slot card, the AMD Radeon RX 480 draws power from 1x 6-pin power connectors (needs 150 W power)
So make sure you have 2 slots available and have the power connector.
If you have a 1x8-pin connector available you might consider the RX 580 ( https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2938/radeon-rx-580 - but needs 185 W power)
Thank you, I'm not very tech saavy
You may also need to check and make sure any new card will fit in your case length wise. Some cards are longer than others, and if you have a smaller case, the new card may be too long.
You in Chicago, correct. If your not tech savvy, I would recommend going to Micro Center. There are two in Chicago. I went to the one in Columbus when I put my new PC together last year. I also went to them when I had a broken laptop screen. I had purchased a new one through Amazon, for $70, and tried to replace it myself but had issues getting the laptop closed back up. I took it to them and they got it done. Charged $70, but considering when I first broke it and I went to Best Buy, they wanted $300, and had to send it out to get done. MC got it done the same day. Would have gone there first, but they're 1.5 hrs away.

If you ever get to a Micro Center, they put Best Buy to same.
Thanks for the info.
I recently purchased a Dell S2716DGR 27" QHD LED G-Sync Gaming Monitor from Amazon. It was 3$ cheaper than Microcenter, but Microcenter is definitely a go to site for me from now on, so thank you
Now on to a GPU card
Lower the damn prices you mining Nazis!
