I would like to know if these pc
components will work together as I want to upgrade my gaming rig.
I am not too sure what the motherboard is but if I find it out I will post it in the replies.

Power supply:

Case:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Advance-8102B0-Gamer-Plastic-Black/dp/B005G9D2T6

EDIT: Money is very strict and I need get a psu and gpu that will fit in that case so I can upgrade the AMD Radeon HD 6670 with the Twin Frozr gtx 760.
I already have the case because I got us pc of Amazon instead of making my own (huge mistake)

EDIT EDIT: My mind has been made on the MSI Twin Frozr GTX 760.

If i know more about that psu is it maybe possible to work with that one so you don't have to upgrade it.There should be a sticker on the side with some info.

For a review about the r9 280,

another one with the gtx 760 in it,

and,

to make sure that it just isn't one review or even two.
these should give enough info about the difference in performance.

So many great cases even for less and you pick that one ... i know taste is personal but couldn't resist to say something about it.No cable management,psu at the top which gives really a cable mess.
Other imo better options,

The Phantek Enthoo Pro would be a very good choice.Some cases also come in other colors.
other choices for a psu,

Other options for a gpu,

The thing is I made the mistake of getting a pc off amazon, so I cant really change the case because money is very strict.
I just want to know if the psu will support the gpu and if the gpu will fit in the case, even if I have to take the side off and leave it off

So you only want to know whether that gpu will work with the other two comp[onents which you seem to already have?

Can you give more info about the psu? Maybe Amps on the +12voltrail(s).Specs don't look bad,but it is probably something else with a novatech sticker on it.
Maybe ko888 knows,when i bump into him in a thread will i see if i can ask hm to take a look.You could do that too.

It does look like that case can handle bigger cards.I would pick the r9 280,it seems to be just a bit better.

I can't give anything on the psu because I am trying to upgrade the psu and gpu. The only thing that I know about the psu is what it tells me on the website. Will there be a massive difference between the geforce and the radeon because my friend has the geforce and he can run games like dayz on highest settings at around 50 fps which is what I am plannibg to do. But will there be a noticeable difference between the cards?

I have already checked and I know that the psu that I currently have will not work with the gtx 760 as it doesn't have any pci power cables and the 760 needs a 6 pin and 8 pin, neither or which I have. I have decided on the gtx 760 and need now to know if it will fit inside the case

Strange,so you linked the wrong psu?

Specs,

Anyway,i think that the gpu should fit.but the only real way to know is to try.
Decent power supplies,

Ah well I looked into it and found out that the AMD R9 280X gets a better performance than the gtx 770 in some cases so I will probably get that instead
Oh, and the psu link that I put down is the one that I am going to get, not the one that I have.
