Will psu and graphics card fit in my case and on my motherboard?

Emiel_lol · Nov 5, 2014

So i want to buy a new graphics card but then i also need a new psu as i found out, but i'm wondering if this will fit. I'm pretty confident it will fit in the case but i don't know about the motherboard. if you need pictures from inside the case let me know.
current motherboard is: ASUS M5A78L-M LE (not great i know)

It will fit the board as long as it has PCIe X16 slot which yours does!

will the power supply fit in?

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 5, 2014

What case and supply.

Emiel_lol · Nov 5, 2014

i really would not know what case it is i can however send you picture. power supply i currently have is a 430w thing. the one i look for buying is a corsair CX600M https://www.alternate.nl/Corsair/CX600M-600-Watt-voeding/html/product/1049958?event=search (dutch site because i am dutch)

No way to tell for sure without knowing the case! But if it is a mini tower or a mid tower it will most likely fit!

jeah that one looks really nice will it fit? it is cheaper as well wich i like

Emiel_lol · Nov 6, 2014

rolli59 :

i would say it is medium but im not sure i have plenty of space in the case tough

rolli59 · Nov 6, 2014

Then you should be golden that XFX is much better and will fit just as well as the Corsair.

Emiel_lol · Nov 6, 2014

rolli59 :

jeah gonna pick that one then (cheaper as well

) and probably a r9 280 3gb that card should go with me for like 2/3 years on like low/medium settings 60 FPS always?

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 6, 2014

Sounds great the XFX 550 is a good one.

Emiel_lol · Nov 6, 2014

yes thank you very much for taking the time! now i only need to know if the r9 280 is a good card that i can game with for another 2/3 years!

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 6, 2014

The R9 280 will be fine for a couple of years.

Emiel_lol · Nov 6, 2014

rolli59 · Nov 6, 2014

If you like a psu to be semi modular is this also a good option,
