My PC, a Dell Optiplex 960, is crap. I ordered a new MSI N660 TF 2GD5 OC to upgrade the PC with, and the graphics card doesn't fit. If there are no options to fix this problem, whether it's remove some stuff in the PC or get something external for the PC, can you please recommend some cheap-ish parts to finish my 660 with? Thanks (this is my first build by the way, if it wasn't already obvious enough).

Which version of the 960 do you have? The desktop or the mini tower?

Well if the 660gtx doesn't fit, your going to probably just have to buy a new case. I was looking at the Opitplex 960's specs and I do have a concern. The document I read shows the power supplies for the desktop version is 255w. That's not nearly enough to power the entire system. Another concern I have is the processor. If you have an Intel Core2duo, it's not going to support the 660gtx completely. It will be a huge bottleneck for your system.

As for a cheap case, I usually don't suggest cases because I feel that is more of personal choice because of looks. Find any mid tower case you prefer.

You have BTX motherboard - you can not move to larger case - you have to build new PC from scratch.

Bad news, but this is it.

You're absolutely right. I completely looked over that. I'm going to remove the solution from my post.
