GPU Compatibility with PSU and ASUS Cm6850-07

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Hello,

I am currently working with an ASUS CM6850-07 (http://www.asus.com/Desktop/Entertainment/Essentio_CM68...) and have decided it is time for a power supply and graphics upgrade so I will be able to play BF3 on ultra at 1080p.

I have decided to go with a GTX570 by MSI and a ZEPHY580MX 580W power supply.

Both found here:

Since I am new with upgrades and this sort of thing, I was wondering if someone could help me make sure these parts are all compatible with my system and case, and are also compatible with each other.

it should work fine, the new series of gpu's are alot less power hungry than the last

1 thing that i noticed though is that asus hasn't listed the internal size of the case, so the gpu may not fit... but it's 42CM long overall

Early today, I opened my case for the first time for a quick measurement and I could fit a whole ruler parallel with my PCI slot, nothing was blocking it either.

Again, sorry for being a "noob" but for my first upgrade I want to make sure it all goes smoothly.

Alright so I know now they are compatible with my case and things.

Also, the GPU says power connection is 2 x 6pin, but the PSU is 1 x 6-Pin, 1 x 8-Pin

Will this be an issue?

is it a 6+2 or a solid 8 pin? you might be able to offset the 8 pin but i personally don't know (i dont have any PSU's with an 8 pin connector)
