Hello all!
I am looking to upgrade my graphics card with the affordable EVGA 1060 SC 6GB or 1060 SSC 6GB within the next few days. I will also be getting a new PSU to accommodate it. PSU I'm leaning towards the EVGA Supernova 550w g3 or 550w N1, $70 is the price point I'm looking at. I was going for the EVGA 500w bronze at first but read people prefer Supernova 550 g3 (the 500w is cheaper so if it's no big deal I can get that).
The system is a Lenovo K450e. The (sad) specs are: i5-4460 3.20GHz (an upgrade will have to wait for a future time), 8 GB RAM, & GeForce GT 720. The documentation for K450e says it's a Tower form factor, but threads I've read clarify it stating it is a mid-tower ATX.
The pics below show the mobo and PCIe slot. My concern: the length for either seems fine, but the SSC looks like the heat sink already on the mobo and/or the RAM slots above the PCIe slot would interfere w/ placement of SSC (possibly SC, too?). Will it? Dimensionally this works (measured the entire case), my question is if they/either can slot there without inner obstruction.
If it's hit or miss either way, I can probably get both (Amazon) and try them out but not sure.
Pics show the current GT 720 in place for comparisons and a view of the mobo.
Thank you!
(I previously posted this on Reddit, if that's okay. It's been a day with no replies and has been buried. Any help I can get would be appreciated. I'll delete that if this one is answered.)
