Will "R9 270X Toxic" fit in Mid Tower cabinet with 550WATT PSU?
Hi!

I am planning to buy "Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X Toxic".

My present system spec is:
CPU - Intel i5 3470
CPU cooler - Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
MoBo - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 4GB x 2
PSU - Corsair VS550 550 WATT
Cabinet - Cooler Master Elite 311 Mid Tower

My question is, will it fit in the cabinet? And will the power supply be enough? If not, can anyone please suggest an alternative?

Also, is the MoBo fine with the graphics card? Or are they incompatible? A couple of Google searches said they might be. I need an expert's opinion, please.

Thanks.

PS - I just need to buy a new gc, nothing else.

It should work fine and you won't ruin anything. I would look at picking up a new monitor though, or hooking it up to a 720p/1080p TV through HDMI. That's what I do and it's amazing on a 32"1080p screen. There is a little ghosting since my response time is 4ms on my TV, but it's not that bad and I'm used to it now, lol.

I am using "Dell E1914H 18.5 inch LED Backlit LCD Monitor" monitor. Its connectivity is VGA (15 Pin D-sub). The gc has 2 x DVI Output Out, 1 x HDMI Output Out. If I use a converter/adapter (DVI-to-VGA), will it be fine? I dont wanna ruin anything...
Thanks! :)

You will be fine on both counts. PSU and the card fitting your case. :)
