Hello,

I want to upgrade my computer with a new graphics card, but I am not sure that it will fit into my computer case.
The case: Aerocool I-Curve+ (this one: Link)
Motherboard: Asus h97-plus
PSU: Chieftec CTG-550 80+
CPU: Intel i5-4440 with the stock cooler from Intel

And the graphics card i am planning to buy: Asus R7-360 (this one: Link)

My question: Will this video card safely fit in my case? Should I buy it?
And one more: is my power supply enough for this card?

Thanks.
 
Stated in the product's specification page the case can handle any device(namely GPU's) in the PCI expansion slots of upto 265mm. Your card of choice is 22cm(L) x 11.1cm(H) x3.8cm(W) so you're clear to purchase and populate your case with it.

Get a reliable PSU based off this guide(but it'd be good to do due diligence and search about). Have a read through this article and you'll learn the entire system needs 430W of power to operate but the chietec unit seems like it can't deliver close to it thus the suggestion to get a more robust PSU.
 


Thanks for your answer. I still haven't decided yet to what GPU I should buy. Now I am considering the Nvidia GTX750Ti variant as it requires much less power than the AMD R7 360.
This is exact card I am considering: GV-N75TOC-2GI
What do you think about this one? Would it be better than the AMD?
