what is your budget for the Graphics card buddy ?

First GLARING problem "Power Supply Internal 300W (100V-240V)". Any Gaming cards need much more power. Normally I tell people 500W for normal use 650-750 for gaming. Then think about your gaming card AFTERWARDS, but make sure it has all the right connectors for both this case, Mobo, and the 'intended' gaming cards (can't cheap on a PSU).

you'll never regret this one !!

it's amazing for gaming , am using the same GPU , i can run 99% of games on Ultra setting with good FPS

as example : Battlefield 3 Ultra setting 1080p - + 70 FPS .

that PSU is Good Quality PSU from Seasonic ( the best PSUs Company )

you can lower the price by getting cheaper PSU if possible .
