[SOLVED] Upgrading GPU

[ThunderMS34]

Possibly looking to go from a Gigabyte 2070 Super to a MSI 3070TI. My problem currently is I'm not sure about space within my PC...

Currently have a
Apevia X-Dreamer4-GN ATX Mid Tower Case
Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Board and an i9-9900k so would it even be compatible? and keep in mind my CPU cooler is big aswell with a Cryorig H5 Ultimate 76.0

And I also have a SeaSonic M12II 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply. so not even sure if thats a good enough PSU??

 

[Why_Me]

Here's the recommended psu for three of their cards.

850w

https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-RTX-3070-Ti-GAMING-X-TRIO-8G/Specification
750w

https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-RTX-3070-Ti-VENTUS-3X-8G-OC/Specification
750w

So I would be good? not good? That somewhat answers the PSU question.

Correction I have the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Super OC 8G GPU right now.. Power consumption for that is 215.9W and the size is 287 x 115 x 50.. May be done before I even think about it for size alone..

Depends on what MSI card you have is my guess.

The one I'm looking at will be the OC edition the 3rd one.

Basically now that I'm looking at it... I'm gonna need a better PSU.. and a bigger case just to upgrade a graphics card which would entail an entire tear down and rebuild and I'm not lookin to do that at all.

You're good with your current psu unless its old and the transistors are worn out.

For a decent case that won't break the bank have a look at these. Just add a 120mm case fan for exhaust.

Not really a fan of tempered glass side cases..

Not to mention I need 4 Harddrive bays. I've got 3 4TB Harddrives that are 3.5 and 1 8TB Harddrive thats 3.5. And I need atleast 7 USB 3 ports. aswell.


Oh yea I also need to fit a disc drive in it...

 

[ThunderMS34]

Scratch that I just realized most of the USB ports I use are on the motherboard I have.. so I'd only need atleast 2 extra USB 3.0 ports on the case and be able to hold 4 3.5" Harddrives and a Disc Drive.
