Will my power supply fit my case?

duhmac · Dec 4, 2014

I have this Coarsair case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139012

And this power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182188

Also, if possible, let me know how to figure this out on my own? Sorry for asking such a silly question, all answers are appreciated.

Yes , The psu eill fit perfectly. The psu is ATX spec and the case is design to have ATX psu.

Not silly question.
And I applaud your desire to learn.

Most power supplies today are fairly standard as to dimensions.
The ATX spec says 86mm high and 150mm wide(3.4" x 5.9"). It can vary form about 140mm long to 190mm or so.

You are good on length.
Nice case.

But... what does this need to power? There are very few setups that will require 1000w psu.
And,,, Rosewill may not be good quality. Here is a chart:

Yes.. the 1000w was a bit excessive. It was on sale. Would I of been better off with a lower wattage yet better quality? It went on sale and man I couldn't resist. It's going to power my new GTX970 card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125684&cm_re=gtx970-_-14-125-684-_-Product, which needed at least 500w.

Thank you for explaining, now I understand better

You are OK, a psu will draw only the wattage demanded of it.
You have enough power for 3 GTX980 cards.

Perhaps the only negative is that a psu that is loafing will not operate at it's best efficiency. That is in the middle third of it's range.

Don't worry or second guess, you are ok.
