Will a GTX 680 work with this system?

HeyItsEchoHere · Dec 15, 2013

GTX 680's are cheap on ebay. I was wondering if it would fit into my case and work. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Collin1234/saved/2CU1

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't. Go for it.

What gtx 680 will fit in the case? I have like 9 inches room I think it was.

It should work. Also, look around for 670s they only perform a tiny bit worse than 680.

Yes, it will work simply fine. So go for it. Happy Gaming!

Will the 680 fit in the case though? I have about 9 inches of room. What 680 should I get to fit in there?

oh... with only 9" for room, you might be a bit screwed with buying. Most cards are about 10" unless you get ASUS low profile 670 which is very small but expensive.

I would say get a new case.

This one is a very nice case. I just bought one near black friday for around $50 and it is very solid and sturdy.

Whoa! that could be a problem because for gtx 680 you should have 10in. room.
I had same kind of problem. My gigabyte r9 280x was not having enough room because of my SATA. So I put my sata in it's uppermost slot and dude! much more enough space for my gpu..... provided you should have that kind of case where your gpu can also use sata slot space. That was probably a childish thing but it worked, I think you should give it a try.

So it will go into the hdd cages? Also will it work with the pny and evga 680's?

All I did was to check the gpu's width first which was able to fit in hdd cages. You should do it the same way I did.

Will I have room for the plugs?

You probably will as your hdd will be in the uppermost cage. My cages were of only 10 cm so hdd was getting in the way. After I shifted my hdd up i had enough space and my gpu didn't even get inside the cages not even a bit.
Not necessarily this could do the trick in every case. You should first measure dimensions of your gpu and your hdd cages, don't just rely on my answer.

The 680 will go in the gpu cage though...
