So I recently received my twin frozr geforce gtx 760 in the mail and am eager to install it, but I became indecisive on going ahead with it after reading an online review about my case. Basically I am worried about the cooling in the case and wanted to see if I should upgrade my case first before using this card or if I would be fine simply installing now.

Here is the case in question:
gateway-fx6860-gaming-desktop-core-i7-2600-3-4ghz-749-9pxinogxz94w4os800g0k484c.jpg


Also if you do recommend upgrading the case, could you be so kind as to point me in the direction of a decent one?

Also on a final note, what would be a good site to sell used hardware? Should I just stick to craigslist or ebay? If I do need a new case I am planning on selling my older card.

Thanks for the help!

Ok so here are a range of temperatures I was having during the 30 minutes it has been installed. When running idle most of the temperatures sit at 34C to 42C. The max temperatures are shown from me running Assassin's Creed 4 on max settings for 10 minutes.

Do you think it will be fine or should I wait to use it until I get a new case?
