Can I fit GTX 970 into my desktop?

[waeandae]

Hello

I am trying to purchase this GPU: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_559&item_id=077305

And my desktop is this: http://www.amazon.ca/Am3970-Eb12p-W7hp64-Intel-I7-2600-Cache/dp/B00822GGT2

Do you guys think this upgrade will work? I am also going to change my PSU to this:

Thanks in advance

Your desktop doesn't give us any indication of the available interior space. You'll have to open it up and measure from the rear expansion slot to the first obstruction (often the disk drive bay). As long as it's more than 28cm, that graphics card should fit.

That power supply should be sufficient for your system.

This site shows the size of my desktop: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=1014159132R&vpn=PT.SHAP2.017&manfuacture=ACER

What do you think?

Yes, that site does give the dimensions of the exterior of your case. Again, you have to open the case and measure the interior space where the PCI-Ex16 expansion slot is.

Measure the red line:

With that computer I would DEFINITELY go with a small form factor GTX 970. This one should fit as it is only 17cm in length. The performance is the same as a full sized card.
