Hi, so I'm upgrading my XPS 9000 (435T)
(Specs http://www.pcworld.com/product/59659/studio-xps-9000-midsize-tower-desktop-customizable.html) To an MSI N760 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127744) and before I go ahead and buy it, I want to make sure everything will fit and run correctly. It's 9.5 inches long (Exactly the cut off of how much space I have, 4.4 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide. It's also a dual-slot GPU.) (Pic of my MOBO

I know my stock PSU is only 475W and that I'm going to need to upgrade it. Currently I'd had my eyes set on the (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171094 Cool master V750) I measured my current PSU and that one seems to be a bit smaller than it so I'm pretty sure it should be fine.

and also 8GB of 1600 HyperX Ram

Sorry, I know it's nooby...but do you think this should all fit/work? THANKS!!!
 
Solution
Yes, I think that will work. Looks like a decent PSU. Normally I would suggest checking the mobo list of approved memory but this looks pretty good.


Thanks for the reply man! Well, You mentioning memory compatibility got me a little worried...After looking into it ( http://www.dellmemoryram.com/dell-computer-ram/DellStudioXPS435T9000.html Info about ram) I think my computer can only take 4gb 1333hz individual ram cards? I'm kinda confused.... Would (http://www.newegg.com/Shopping/ShoppingItem.aspx?ItemList=N82E16820231405 be the only type of ram it could take?

Also, you saved me because apparently there's a ( http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/SLN124724/EN) certain way you have to put in the DDR3 memory or itll do funky stuff to your computer o.o
 


Just found that out about the ram right before buying it all! :) Yeah, this thing was a pain to decide what all to put in it. I'm pretty happy with the outcome tho, thanks for your help man!
