Im wondering if this GTX 260 by evga will fit in my case? also is this a very good gtx 260 i picked it because its only 199.99 ill be buying it in april
heres a pic of my comp now, btw i know i would have to somehow move the wires on the bottom, but would the card block my sata ports? also the current card is a HD 3850 HIS 256MB and mobo is GA EP45 UD3R

It mite just fit. Mainly because the gtx260 is a double slot width design, apparently there are single slot ones but i'm yet to see one. If you could find the dimensions of the card you could measure and see if it will fit. I can tell you now though, if you do get it you will have to move your hard drive and tidy up some of those cables in your pc, its looking a bit on the sad side at the moment lol
Print off the picture of the case internals measure the distance on the picture between two motherboard screw holes, measure the distance between the same screw holes on an actual motherboard. Divide the actual length by the length in the image to find the ratio. Measure the distance on the image from the backets at the back to the drive bays and multiply that with the ratio to get the distance.
The GTX260 is 10.5 inches.

Um well i measured from the screws to the hard drive cage and i have 11 inches. so does that mean it will fit? i dont understand what you said btw dj lol im horrible at math
by the way can someone tell me how long the his 256mb hd 3850 is? i think its 9.5 inches.
If the hd 3850 i have is 9.5 inches looking at the picture, since the pci-e are on the top of the card it should fit then right?

If you already have the case and have measured it at 11 inches vs the 10.5 inches of the card itself, it will be fine. On a GTX260 the 2x6pin pci-e cables come outwards rather then along the length of the board like your 3850.
You will definatly need to move the hard disk drive down 1 slot or up 2 to get it to fit though.
