I recently started my first build, and I'm rather new to the various odds and ends that come with it. I have a Rosewill Thor-V2 case, an MSI b85m-p33 mobo, a Seagate 1tb hard drive and a 500gb hard drive I pulled from old laptop that died on me as well as a Corsair cx 750m pcu. I was looking for a gpu when I saw this evga geforce gtx 960 designed for mITX builds, but since I have a smaller mobo, I thought it would be better space-wise for my cables and plug ins if I got a gpu that is a bit smaller than the regular ones. Would that work, or should I stick with a regular sized gpu?

The size itself doesn´t matter, the only thing you need to take care is your case maximum graphics card Length and widht (For taller graphic cards) I read on neweg that your case supports up to 330mm graphic card, it should fit. The problem with most older compact graphics card, is that they´re often weaker than the bigger brother and its not worth it, unless your case is very small and the maximum graphic card length is very restricted. cheers
