Not sure if Gtx 970 will fit into Dell XPS 8500 case

[mattg106]

Hey guys i was thinking about upgrading my graphics card to a Gtx 970
My current graphics card is gtx 660.
It's dimensions
Height: 4.376in - 111.15mm
Length: 9.5in - 241mm
The Gtx 970 dimensions
4.376 in
10.5 inches long
On a side note, i'm not sure if i have enough power to supply this new Graphics card, I can't seem to find the Base XPS 8500 PSU
Thanks for the help!

Easiest way to determine if a 10.5" card will fit... is to measure. Are you up to using a ruler or tape measure? Do you have an inch to spare with the old card?
The GTX 970 is almost identical in power draw as your GTX 660: http://www.hwcompare.com/18051/geforce-gtx-660-vs-geforce-gtx-970/

There are ITX single fan versions of that card that aren't as long. It looks like you might have to remove video card to change memory.

It fits, however you need to reroute some cables. Surprisingly, your stock PSU is powerful enough to drive the graphics card.
