Hello Everyone,
I would first like to thanks the Toms Hardware forum. I got help by a member about a year ago for my first/current build and it still runs great. I greatly appreciate the free advice I was given and the great bang/buck I got.

Now, I’m helping a friend who lives pretty far way pretty much on the other coast and he’s putting a GTX 770 2G GPU in his pc. That’s about all I know and the picture I’m attaching of his case. I’m asking him for info to understand and try to help as best as possible, but I myself am unexperienced. He believes he’ll have to move everything to install his GPU, but if I’m not incorrect he should only move the center drive bay. Now again I have no idea of how the case looks inside or even his mobo, so I’m just guiding myself on the experience I gained form my first/only build.

Because of the time difference I might not be able to provide requested info/pics.

Sorry for that I thought someone might recognize it, but I'll try to get the pictures of the inside and the model ASAP.

Take a picture of the PSU too. Somewhere you should see +12V1 +12V2 +12V3 etc the GTX 770 requires 42 amps minimum on that rail. If it's at least 21 AMPS on the +12V1 rail should support it fine (using 6 and 6 + 2 pin power conntector). Also I think it needs to be at least a 600 watt PSU for that card
