Hello there.

I have an Inspiron 620 (Mini-Tower) and I'm wanting to upgrade the stock Radeon 6450 GFX card.

Will a nVidia GTX 770 or an EVGA GTX 770 4GB GDDR5 Classified with ACX Cooler fit inside the case and even be compatible with my current specs?

I have an i5-2320 and I'm upgrading my 4GB RAM to 8GB.

Here is a picture of the 620 inside from two separate sources:

and

I also want to add a Wireless Card: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 - Will this fit in with a GTX 770?

I will be upgrading my 300W PSU for a 600W Corsair PSU to accomodate the GFX update.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Solution
PCIe is backwards compatible so you'll be fine. Just move the wireless card a couple slots lower, so there is some clearance between it and the GPU.

Okay great, yeah I was thinking of removing the HDD case and placing it underneath the optical drive tray? Or perhaps I could remove the HDD cage and put the harddrive in the empty slot below the optical drive?

Will I have enough space then? The card won't obstruct the cables plugged into the motherboard at the bottom right in both pictures?

Thanks!
