Will a GTX 760 Fit in My Case?

[HowBoutDemPats12]

How do you post pictures? I was going to email them from my iPod to my computer and put them in but it says it needs a URL? How do I get the URL for a picture I took?

No, I want to know how to post a picture of my case to see if you guys can help me determine whether or not a GTX 760 will fit.

And you can also give us the info of your case and GPU, so that we can suggest you, this way you donot have to post pic.

Thanks, here it goes.

The first is a 12 inch tape measure, the second is 4 inches from the CPU, the third and fourth are just lit up pictures of the case after we finally managed to find a flashlight lol

Apologize for the low-res pics

If it can take something 12 inch long, what ever you get should fit.

What is the make/model of the case ? Or what is the H x W x D ?

The computer is an Acer Aspire M3970G it has a AMD Radeon HD 7350 in it right now and a i5-2320 CPU with I think a 500W PSU, the Motherboard it says is an Acer Aspire M3970G and the PCI slot says PCIE_X1_1 does that mean it won't work with a GTX 760? And from outside it is about 14 inches x 14 inches x 6 1/2 or 7 inches, the only thing I'm worried about is the PCI slot not working with a GTX 760 and whether or not the GTX 760 would collide with the RAM and it not be able to be put in.

Card Dimensions 10.24" x 4.96" x 1.50", so I think there is not enough room inside the case to fit the card.

And the card requires a 6-pin Power Cable and a 8-Pin Power Cable from PSU, do your PSU have it ?

If that is a PCI-E 2.0 slot then there is nothing to worry about. All GPU's are backward/forward compatible.

Well... crap haha.

I'm not sure, the model is an Acer Aspire M3970G if that helps at all, I don't really know how to find out but I think it's at least a 500W PSU

Basically OEM PSU's are not that good to run aftermarket GPU's, cause they generally are low in wattage, and missing PCI-E supplementary power cables.

Well, that's okay. I'm probably going to try to build a new computer or go to that website that builds it for you.
