After getting a MSI GeForce GTX 960 GAMING 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E ATX I found it wasn't compatible with the case or the power supply (what a fail, although it was a Christmas present) so instead of swapping I am going to simply buy more things to make it compatible. But I am not sure what to get so could you help me? I need a bigger case and a power supply to support it.
 


For PSU i would suggest something like a 550W. (You could get a bigger wattage psu for future upgrades)
Some Good PSU brands: Seasonic,EVGA,XFX
For a case i would just get a ATX case. Full tower or a Mid tower how you like it. If you find a nice one that you like, you can link it here and we will see if your stuff fits in that thing. :)
 


The case looks good, i wouldn't go for that PSU. Corsair psu's are bad quality.
 


That is an rather all encompassing statement and incorrect as well, I have several Corsair PSU's two of which are about ten years old.
 


Yes there is some good Corsair PSU's but that VS model is like a tier 4 PSU if i remember correctly.
 


Well your statement does not reflect that and I have no time for that or any other tier list as none of them reflect what I have seen in the real world.
