Hi, everyone,
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I'd like to upgrade my Lenovo desktop from the GT 730 that came with the computer to the EVGA GeForce 970. Before I pull the trigger, I'd like to get some opinions on whether or not the card will fit.
The card measures 10.5 inches in length, and 4.376 inches in height. My case measures 9.4" x 23.2" x 21.9". That seems fine, but I worry that the card might crowd up against some of the components on the motherboard. For example, if you look at the pic I included, you'll notice the video card cuts in between the RAM and some smaller, square-shaped piece. First of all, anyone mind telling me what that is? Inquiring minds want to know.
Second, will that thingamabob get in the way of the larger GTX 970?
Thanks for your help!
