My apologies ahead of time if this is in the wrong area.

I am trying to determine if the EVGA GTX 960 2GB is compatible with this setup that was gifted to me with regards to power and space in the case.

Setup: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wHmKRB
Card in question: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487093&cm_re=gtx_960-_-14-487-093-_-Product

I am not too familiar with dimensions and voltages, I am simply aware that my PSU (460W) has potentially enough watts to handle this card. I became worried when I heard of reports that some of the newer cards were refusing to work with older monitors, of which I have two (Acer P223W). Both are sub-1080p, and I am only planning on gaming with one with browsing/light applications on the other.

Any and all help appreciated. Thanks.

I would go with a 500-550W (Watt) PSU (power supply just to make sure you have enough. Its always better to have more power than less power. As for the MOBO (motherboard) I would choose something else other than BIOSTAR. 16GB of RAM is great but if you can at least get 1600Mhz speed than 1333Mhz, it will make everything more snappy and quick. CPU (Processor) is amazing for the price, I have the same processor and it's truly amazing ! All in all great build and for your graphics card EVGA 960 is a great card and will very well with this set up!

Hope this Helps ! :D
