Will the GPU fit the Mobo?

mrfuji · Aug 8, 2013

Will the MSI N770 LIGHTNING Nvidia GeForce GTX770 be able to fit on the Asus MAXIMUS VI GENE Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard?

This then leads me on to my next question, what case would be suited to house these to?

Build is looking nearly set to purchase but I just have a few more questions.

Thanks.

Any PSU that is 80 plus Bronze would be fine.

Hello, No I won't be just keeping to the one. What would be a good wattage for this?

The recommended wattage for SLIing 770s is 750W.
Anything around 850W should be alright

The Ram will conflict with the CPU cooler is you plan on getting 2 more modules, increase your PSU a bit to have some headroom just in case. If you plan on only gaming grab the i5-4670K instead.

My plan was to get 2 yeah, 2x 8GB. I'm going with the i7 for Rendering & Photoshop reasons but what do you mean about increasing the PSU? thanks.

You said earlier you wanted to SLI the 770s, the recommended wattage for SLing them is 750 but I'd say its best to have a bit above the recommended amount just for headroom.

Sorry, I may not have written it properly. I just want to keep to one GPU I don't want to SLI it, I was asking what PSU would suit the build while answering that question. Can see why you got confused sorry.

Well then 750W is a lot more then you would need. 650 should be perfect

And just to clarify something, the large fins on the RAM would interfere with the cooler if you were to use all of your RAM slots.

I could only find the 600W Cosair PSU.

As for the RAM what would be a good low profile one for around the same price?

Corsair Low Profile Vengeance or Kingston HyperX for RAM. Any RAM without those giant fins would be fine (they are merely cosmetic)

The Hyper 212 Evo comes with Thermal Paste (Just if you didn't know)
