Hi I looking to buy the the gtx 770. I have an Advent DT2412 desktop.

Spec
i7 3770
16gb ram
Windows 8.1
My currents gpu is the gt 630

I would like to know if the card would fit in my case and would I have to do anything with the bios?
I'm looking to get the MSI GeForce GTX 770 Twin Frozr Gaming Edition Graphics Card - 2GB from scan.

Thanks

Well that's mini atx isn't it? It will be kinda hard to fit this beast in it and if you do you will deal with overheat like i did.I bought 770 msi tf oc edition before 6 months and with my acer predator case which is mini atx tho(maybe its atx dunno) got like 60c while idle in gaming up to 79 plus fps drops in fc3 now with my new nzxt 630 ultra tower the gpu isn't going above 61c idle is like 30c so yeah you should get a new case though the cpu is beast the ram though so yeah a new case will be needed if your mobo is PCIe x16 it will let you put a 770 in it. Oh wait my acer predator atx mobo came with gt 640 so yeah it should do the work!

What I'm planning to do now is upgrade my case and psu but also swap win 8 for win 7. The case so that I have better air flow.
