I'm thinking of upgrading from a GTX 650 Ti to a GTX 960 in time for the release of a few new games i would like to be able to run at very high qualities, although i am curious to whether my Motherboard is compatible with the planned Graphics card i am thinking of getting.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D3V.

Another problem is that i am not sure whether the graphics card will actually fit into the case i've got, unfortunately at the time of the purchase of my PC from my O.E.M it did not cross my mind that one day i may actually wish to change my components... And my GTX 650 Ti is already a tight-ish fit (Heh).

If any of you would help me by checking out the Motherboard and Case to advise me on whether they will fit/be compatible it would be greatly appreciated! My case model is a
"CIT Mars Midi Tower Part-Mesh Gaming Tower PC Case"

Best case Scenario the GPU is Compatible and i can use Tetris skills to fit the GPU into my current case.
Worse case Scenario, my GPU is not compatible with the MoBo and it also won't fit in the case, meaning i have to scavenge a few hundred to fund a new Case, MoBo and the GPU and then teach myself how to fit it all together :')

Thanks!

Jeez, i really appreciate this, those cards are literally an inch bigger than my current one so i think it will be fine, thank you very much :) As for the PCIE I'll just double check now to make sure it has it
 



No problem. Glad companies are now making small cards for situations like yours! :)

Also, make sure your PSU is at least 400W and has either 1 6 pin PCIE cable or 2 molex plugs (the EVGA model comes with a molex to 6 pin adapter).

I believe this is my power supply:

Will that be sufficient?
Thanks again.
