Hi, first post here. I admittedly don't know much about computers but I've been looking at prebuilt gaming PCs, however after speaking to a coworker he suggested i do the same as him and buy a regular desktop PC and then buy a graphics card to put in it.

So my question is will this http://m.ebuyer.com/520367 fit into this http://m.ebuyer.com/662249
I apologise if it's a stupidly obvious question but after googling matx I'm a bit unsure of whether there is enough slots etc etc.

I'm also aware I would need to buy a bigger power supply, should I look into getting a gtx 960 as that requires less power (I think)?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is the wrong forum.

You can not just get the case dimensions and judge that the card will fit, you have to know the internal layout, where is the PSU, how are the cages for the hard drives and optical drives placed, are there any additional fans. Brand gaming cases usually list the maximum card length that can fit inside but for an unknown office case no one can tell.

The length of the card depends on the exact model of the case used and there is no any info about it. So there is no way to tell if the card will fit. Also there is no any info about motherboard and RAM brand and model.
PSU is 250w and you will definitely have to change it.
This is a possible way to make a basic gaming PC - get an office one and a powerful GPU, but it is risky.
If you think it will be difficult for you to build a PC, better get a prebuilt that is planned for gaming instead for offfice.
You seem to be UK, I'm not familiar with the market there but these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freshtech-Motherboard-Performance-Certified-Barracuda/dp/B00I4477ZU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_computers_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1CD2AHXP6TBYBQ0DT5RN
seem to be built well and the comp rating is good.
Price is a bit higher but PSU is £55-60 (you will have to add these in if you try your first idea), and all components are guaranteed to work together.

EVGA lists the card at 9.5" long. If it doesn't fit, a dremel tool is your friend. ;)

I'd avoid overpaying for Corsair power supplies, and given that Seasonic makes the PSU's that Corsair rebrands as the CX series, I'd just get a Seasonic PSU. Or Antec. I'm an Antec VP-series fanboy for how the underrate their own power supply output ratings. Personally running the VP450, and it's rock solid.

Well one 760 I saw was 21.8x12.7x3.8 and the case is 37.5x18x36 so to my mind (not much hah) it should fit my main thought was about the connections PCI-e etc.

Would this be better http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00K8TKVZM/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile 49.2x25.2x41

The one you linked there is a bit out of my price range. I was looking at the cyberpower armour elite ii previously, but it's not available anymore as the gtx 960 has just come out so was now looking at this http://m.ebuyer.com/699081

And yes I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.

Just a note, seasonic makes some of corsair's power supplies, but not all of them. The CX lineup is actually not a Seasonic build, but rather CWT. There was one 400W CX that seasonic made but that is long discontinued.
