I have had my acer xc 885 for a while and was wondering if the 

Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile 2G

Would fit inside and if I would have to upgrade the 220 watt power supply

    Yeah, the XC885 comes with a smaller supply, physically, IIRC. You might look at ones like this, to see if they have the same form factor.

    They recommend a 300W PSU with that card. That means your first step is to find a bigger supply. You can pop the cover off to verify the 150mm length isn't too large, but I believe it should fit. The card should come with both a low profile and normal size bracket. You'll use the low profile.
