Hello!

I currently have a prebuilt computer that I am wanting to upgrade. As of right now, the CPU is an i7-4790k and the graphics card is an GT 720. I am trying to purchase the GTX 960 but I am worried that it will not fit in a Dell XPS 8700 case. Any help on this will be great as too if it'll fit or I need to get a new casing.

Also, will it be best to have two fans or one fan on the GPU? I believe that I only need one since I am not overclocking, and it'll need less space.

This is where measuring comes in... What GTX 960 card do you want to install? How much room do you have from the rear of the case to the drive cage?

I have a GTX 760 reference card (near the same size as a GTX 960) in my Dell XPS 8700 and it fits fine, but it was a VERY tight squeeze. Airflow for the card is also quite limited so now I plan on moving the parts to a new case for better airflow and for future upgrades (psu, graphics card, motherboard etc..).
