Will my gaming computer fit in this tower?

ShadowStorm440 · Nov 20, 2013

Hi, I need some help with this question. I have a gaming computer, and i'm looking to upgrade the tower, here is the tower I currently have http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dx-series-desktop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/1747384.p;jsessionid=6FD7EF8C7FCA9A69CDCC636D82F48B9B.bbolsp-app02-136?id=1219062806947&skuId=1747384&st=Gateway%20i5%20desktop&cp=1&lp=1
I have all the specs listed on that computer, although I have upgraded my graphics card to a "Geforce GTX 660ti" which they had trouble fitting into that tower, here is the tower i'm looking to upgrade too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147195

If you guys could help me out with this I would really appreciate it. I'm still learning with computer so that's why I can't do it without your help. Thanks so much!

Yes it will all fit easily. Depending on your PSU, it may need cable extensions if it was made for a case with a top mounted PSU. What PSU do you have?

Gateway has zero documentation on the desktop, so I'm going to assume that the motherboard is micro-ATX. If so, it will fit in any micro-ATX, mid, or full tower. As long as the motherboard isn't proprietary, it should fit in that case fine.

I have a "Thermaltake TR2 600W" here is a link so you can see:

Yes it will fit fine. I would replace that PSU because it is low quality though.

Corsair, Antec, XFX, Seasonic only.

Well I have a small budget (given I don't have alot of money) and that power supply will run my computer just fine, But depending on the price of a new PSU, would It be worth upgrading?

I would not use a thermaltake in my computer. They are low quality units. I would definitely replace it.

Well, What are some of the "benefits" of upgrading my power supply? If it can already handle my PC fine why would I upgrade?

If it were to fail (happens all the time with low end units), it can ruin every single component in your computer.

PCP&C and Silverstone make great units too. You can get a Corsair CX600M for like $45 right now from newegg if you choose to get a new one.

PC Power and Cooling make some VERY good units.

I recommend the XFX550 though, AMAZING quality for money.

Hmm...I see that the power supply you mention is on sale on new egg, I might consider upgrading my power supply now that you say that.

I belive that is it. . .

Yes, that unit is AMAZING for the money. It is actually a re-branded Seasonic, which is as good as it gets.
