Finding the best graphics card

kastrawn · Nov 13, 2013

I am looking to replace my old GPU and i was wondering if this one would fit wiht my CPU/Motherboard/Tower case

Tower Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Mother Board: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor

New graphics card: Asus GeForce GTX 760-DC2OC-2GD5

This mostly depends on your PSU since your CPU and motherboard can handle a GTX 760 without bottlenecking. You would need at least...hum...I'd say 500-600W with two PCI-E power connectors. Also, make sure that it fits inside your case!

How would i know if it fits into my case or not? and my power supply is this :Corsair Enthusiast 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Measure the physical space inside your case where the GPU goes, and then look up on the manufacturers website the length and other dimensions of the GPU you are considering buying.

If it fits in your case, then yes your PSU can handle a GTX 760

Idk if it fits in my case or not... Idk where i can find the deminions for the GPU

As I said its on the website

How do i find the GPU slot size in my case? i cannot find them anywhere

mazout360 · Nov 13, 2013

The slot size is constant, it's the whole card's physical size that you have to verify to make sure it fits

BradSpray · Nov 13, 2013

Its nothing to do with the size of your PCIE slot, but you need to measure the space that the GTX760 would take up, so measure your current cards length, and see if the new one is longer or shorter, and see if there is enough physical space in your case to fit the GTX760

well my case deminsions are 19.51" x 7.68" x 17.32" and the card is 8.6 " x 5 " x 1.5 " so it will fit in correct

kastrawn · Nov 13, 2013

The thing is i am building from scratch. So i cant really measure it

BradSpray · Nov 13, 2013

Well put the rest of the system together before you buy the GPU, and once the MOBO and other parts are all in place then measure to check of you have enough space for the new card.

mazout360 · Nov 13, 2013

Your case is bigger than mine and the card is smaller, so I *think* it will fit. Of course the only way to know for sure is to do as BradSpray said.

kastrawn · Nov 13, 2013

Alright I guess I could do that, and I never built my own pc for me, so is there any videos or tips that I can have?

kastrawn · Nov 13, 2013

IT should fit but ill just wait until I put everything else in then I will order the graphics card

BradSpray · Nov 13, 2013

YEs that is the best move for you to take, put GPU in last is usually the done thing anyway.
