Hi, I am upgrading my video card when newegg has their holiday sale, and I wanted to know if the card will fit into my system. I already own everything else so no suggestions on anything else. I also have done the wattage est and found it uses 525w peak. The video card is the gigabyte r9 290x but I might get one of the sapphire or msi ones if prices drop again.
