Basically, I am going to be upgrading from a GTX 670 to a GTX 980TI STRIX, but I want to make sure that I have a big enough case to do so,

I am 99 percent sure this is my case:

Aerocool Strike-X One Advance Mid-Tower USB 3 Screwless Gaming Case with Red LED Fan

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerocool-Strike-X-Advance-Mid-Tower-Screwless/dp/B0060AB09Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1448810023&sr=8-2&keywords=x+strike+case

but I want someone to just clarify with me that this case is suitable for putting this size graphics card in as many places show a different size. Also, would a 850w xviper psu be able to support this card?

Thanks.

obviously I am not saying you're incorrect, but how does a 650w become more powerful than an 850 xviper?

Does this mean that if I don't upgrade straight away after buying this graphics card I wont be able to run it ? or is this just saying it will run it but I would upgrade if you were me ?
