as stated above, i am going to buy a GTX 970
here are a few thins i need help with from you guys:

(Note- i can search this but i am at work atm and so dont have time and i plan on getting the card tonight when i get home ASAP, so your help would be greatly appreciated )

Atm i have a CiT sentinel mesh gaming case ( 51.8 x 49.8 x 23.4), will the 970 fit? 😀 and what psu do i need to run ? i have 430w atm which i think is not enough.

my current setup is :

Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H
Intel Core i5 4670
Asus HD 7770 2gm AMD Radeon
2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance
WD 1tb Hard Drive Caviar Blue
2x Cooler Master 12cm SickleFow System fan

if you need more info i -MAY BE ABLE To- give it to you this afternoon 😀

thx all 😀
 
Yes you have more than enough room to fit in a GTX 970, and no the 430W isn't enough to run that card a good 550W will do you fine but I would suggest getting a 650W for overhead and room to OC the GPU if you want to.
 


Dunno if u know but 970 Gtx dosent have a 4gb of vram it has 3.5... And it's only good for 1080p gaming, + it dosent support full dx12 like old R200 Ati series... U will need 600W bronze is ok Psu :) Good luck
 


Ohh, the one i am getting says it has 4gb maybe because it is OC?. but yeah i will think about either 500w (550) or 600w (650). budget may be tight 😀

here's a question - Will the size of the psu change ?? 😀

P.S LUNCH BREAK YAY
 


No i have OCZ Mod extreme pro 500 and Corsair TX650 and they are indentical in size maybe few mm difference
