Yes to both the video card and power supply.


I was reading into the specs and it says (1) PCI Express x16 (occupied) which the gpu would need. What do you think is using that slot?

The only thing typically installed in the x16 slots are video cards. I see what you are looking at. I assume (since this model uses integrated video) that this is a typo.


I found a different one for about the same price and better specs http://www.qvc.com/ZT-Desktop---Intel-Core-i5-3470,-12G...$uslarge$

This one has a GT630 that uses a pci 2.0 slot. How much would that effect the performance of a 3.0 card like the 7870?

For all practical purposes, the difference between a PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 slot will have little bearing on the performance as seen by the user. Installing a HD7870 into the PCIe 2.0 slot, for example, will have minimal measurable impact.

Essentially, this really isn't an issue.

Alright good now the only other problem i see would http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... be able to fit into the case. the case measurements are 7-1/8"W x 13-7/8"H x 16-7/8"D.
