I just bought an RX 580 GPU because I want to play racing games more smoothly, but I'm realizing that my computer doesn't have any PCIe slots. Is there any way I can still install the GPU, or should I just consider selling it and getting a new computer that can accommodate it?

It sounds like you're running into a pretty common issue. If your computer doesn't have any PCIe slots, unfortunately, you can't install a standard GPU like the RX 580. Most desktop motherboards will have at least one, but if yours doesn't, you might have a compact or unique system design that doesn't support upgrades. It might be time to look into getting a new PC that can handle a dedicated GPU!
Yeah, the IdeaCentre 3 models can be quite limited with their hardware. If you're looking to play games, it may be best to start fresh with something that has more upgrade options.
