Hello guys I have a Ocz 600w 80 plus
Msi motherboard x58M
12gb XMS3 memory from corsair
intel i7 950
a ocz vertex 2 60gb ssd
a 1tb Western Digital Black
3 40mm fans and an lg DVD /RW
would a gtx970 fit with theses settings ?
the length of the GTX 970 are 10.5 inches. 1 inches is too small and can interfere. The worse case are you have unnamed brand case which mean bad airflow. Or you can picture your pc case
Last question I would also like to buy a gtx 970 for my girlfriend so she can keep up playing next gen game with me would it also fit ? Here's her settings

If it should fail under load, there may not be circuitry to prevent damage to other connected parts.
But... since it has been working, you are likely ok.
Just do not buy a overclocked GTX970 that needs more than the standard two 6 pin connectors.
