I'm going to purchase the MSI GTX 1060 graphics card to replace my GT 640 but I want to make sure it is completely compatible before buying. My PC model is here: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03513449 and the GPU is here https://jet.com/product/MSI-Video-Card-GTX-1060-GAMING-X-3GB-3GB-192Bit-DDR5-HDMIDVI-DDisplay-port-x3-Re/6cad4c4213d04e559c081c6ba1ad2194. My main concern is that the MSI won't physically fit into the chasis but the distance from PCI to external ports should be standard right?
 
Solution
the gpu lenth on a pc case is from the back of the hard drive bay to the back of the case. if your case is standard size a 10 inch long gpu should fit. your going to have to replace the no name 450w unit with a good power supply if you want to game. you can try the stock power supply but under gaming load it might fail.
