Alienware Aurora R4 - best GPU upgrade I can handle?

I have a rig built in 4/2013 and just bought an ASUS ROG PG348Q Ultra wide monitor.

Ideally, I would like to run games at max res (3440x1440) on ultra settings around 60 FPS or greater.


My current build is:

OS - Windows 10 64 bit

CPU - i7 3820 @ 3.6 Ghz

RAM - 32GB DDR3 @ 1866Mhz

Motherboard - Alienware 07JNH0

GPU - GTX 690

Storage - 512GB SSD

What is best graphics card upgrade my rig can handle?

I'm a CPU noob and need all the help I can get.

Thanks

Nice config. With Dell 875w PS, it will run a single NVidia-1080 no-problem.

2.5 slot

Two and a half slot huh ... Cool.

If it doesn't fit in Aurora-R4, not sure what machine they expect it to work in. Just measure first.
 
Let us know if it works.

Thank you for your helpful and reassuring response, Tesla.  

I was looking at the ZOTAC GTX 1080 AMP EXTREME 12.795” x 5.827 2.5 slot

The GTX 690 is 11" x 4.376" dual slot.

Do you think the ZOTAC will fit?
