Upgrade Shuttle SX58J3 for 4K?

[Ian George]

I have a Radeon 6870 card with 1 gb vram. This will only go to 2560 x 1600. Could I replace this in my SX58J3 and be good to go for a 4k monitor? It would be for simple 4k video editing and viewing, not gaming. Thanks. Ian

PS more specs:
BX80601930 i7-930 s1366 (2.8 ghz)
RA3 Kingston PC1333 (6 gb ram)

what's your PSU? if you want to GAME at 4K, you're out of luck- your cpu is inadequate. But just 4K screen/videos, a 960 could handle it

Thanks ScrewySqrl.
Yes not for gaming. Probably its biggest stress would be working a couple of layers of 4k clips from a Panasonic GH4 in Adobe After Effects.
Would the 960 fit in such a small chassis would you know? (the Radeon 6870 does of course).
PS PSU is 500W
