Hey Guys, I'm going to upgrade my Dell XPS 8500. My friend is giving me his Haf 922 case and I want to put in the following power supply, Evga 750 Watt G2.

(Case) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197

(PSU) http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-80PLUS-Certified-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414616242&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+750+watt

My ultimate goal is to swap out the HD7870 with a GTX 970. My questions are, will my motherboard fit in that case? Will I have any issues swapping out the new power supply and eventually the new video card?

Thanks for your help everyone!
 
Solution
YEs the board will fit fine.

The new PSU and GPU should work fine, but the PSU is overkill for the GPU. An XFX650w unit would be the same quality and much cheaper.
