Hello!

I am going to upgrade my current computer. My current computer is listed in the link that follows: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8219701

I bought this computer a while back and I am now deciding to place a better graphics card inside of it. The card I will be placing in it is a GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB. Since that will not fit in my current case, I will be using the NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX Mid Tower Case. My only questions are;

Will my gpu be compatible with all the parts of my current computer?
Does my psu have enough wattage to support my whole computer?
Does this card, along with the rest of my components, fit in my case?
Are ALL the parts in this computer compatible with each other?

If you can answer any or all of my questions it will be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Solution
that will work fine it has to 6+2 pins and plenty of power for everything.

it is $55 on amazon right now i believe.

i will see if there are any other good deals right now also

fkr

Splendid
i do not htink that power supply will work. I own a gtx 970 acx 2.0 and the power consumption under load for these cards can get to 300 watts+.

i also doubt that your PSU will have 30 amps on the 12v rail which is the recommendation for that card.

if you draw to much from that PSU there is a ssignificant chance that it will fry your motherboard, cpu and GPU. it is not worth the risk.

even nvidias website says that you need a 500 watt power supply at least

you can get a b series 600 watt power supply from newegg for $50

Could you provide a link to one of these 600 watt b series $50 power supplies?

Edit: I found this; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438014&cm_re=power_supply_600_watt_b-_-17-438-014-_-Product

Will this work with all my parts? Does it have the correct cables? (Yes, I am new with building computers.)
