Will a gtx 680 work and fit in my IPISB-CH2 motherboard? (changed title from 770 to 680 cuz i think that the 770 don't fit)

Hi and i have a gt 545 nvidia graphics card and it is a really old one, so i thought it was about time for an upgrade. I am thinking of getting a gtx 680. However, i need to know if it will work and fit in my motherboard?

Here are my computer specs if you need them: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03261061&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=101&contentType=SupportFAQ&prodSeriesId=5187019&prodTypeId=12454

BTW does my interface width have to match the graphics cards?

It has one PCIe x16 slot, so yes, it will fit. I'd make sure you have an i5 or i7 processor in there so there's no bottleneck.

I have a Intel Core i7 2600 processor

Then go ahead! Shouldn't face any bottleneck at all! Just make sure your chassis has enough space for the card, as it's quite a big one, especially those Gigabyte versions!

You need to open the case and look, make sure the RAM and heatsinks or other cards don't get in the way. Also make sure the length clears the end of the motherboard and the case. Plus you need to make sure the power supply can run the video card. While the actual PCIe socket will fit the card, that is only one of the things you need to check.

Okay i opened up my computer and measured how much space i need and their are a lot of wires in the way that look like they are fixed in position and they look like that if i move it i might break it. What about the GTX 680? Will that work and fit? I also measured the space for the 680 as well and i think it looks like it MIGHT fit and I THINK their are less wires in the way as when i measured the 770. So will the 680 work and fit?

I doubt any wires coming across the case are not movable. You may have to cut the tie-downs, or get longer connections for some parts. Nothing that goes from the motherboard to the other components should be permanent.

Ok thanks but one thing. Do i need to have over the minimum power supply needed for the 680 because i don't.

UKickAss :

If you are going by the minimum listed on nVidia's web site, that is about 20% or more higher than what you can run it on. Your power supply should be OK but it's a bit close, in the benchmark systems with the 680 was at about 350 watts total power.
