Will my PC fit/run a GTX 980 Ti?

[Dralight]

Hello, i'm looking to upgrade my PC for the first time, so i'm pretty new to this. I'm hoping to upgrade to an Nvidia GTX 980 Ti (currently have an AMD Radeon HD 7770, hence the need for a real upgrade.), and also bump my RAM up from 6GB to 16GB.
I just have a few concerns about whether the card is compatible with my PC and if it will actually fit in my case.

Edit: Attached a pic of my PC for an idea of how big it is inside & out.

My specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.40GHz
Motherboard: PEGATRON CORPORATION 2AD5
PSU: Delta DPS-600WB A

Should I upgrade my power supply too? Or will 600w be okay?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, to be honest we cannot tell you if the GTX 980 Ti will fit in your case if we don't know what case you have...

In regards to the PSU, 600W should be fine but I would recommend a more quality PSU. Here is a Tier List of the top PSU's: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Wattage-wise that PSU is technically enough, but it doesn't look like a quality PSU. If you're spending $650 on a GPU it's probably worth $100 or so to get a good 750W.

As far as I know, HP makes some very good quality PSUs actually.
I think 600w will be okay, although it would be easier to know if it is a good PSU by knowing what it actually is. 😛

According to their website, Delta DPS-600WB has 18 amps on the 12V rail. According to MSI's website, a 980 Ti requires 38 amps on the 12V rail.

Thats right. The psu can't handle the 980 Ti. The specs

I recommend one from Seasonic or Super Flower. They are known for its high quality. This is what I got and what I can recommend to you: Super Flower Leadex Gold 650W

Thanks for the PSU recommendations, all. Had a feeling I might need something a bit better. Anyone able to tell me if the motherboard is compatible with this graphics card? One other thing, will my current CPU good enough? I know they're not always a huge factor for gaming. It's not going to effect the GPU's performance?

Edit: Here is a link to my PC's mobo specs. Afaik it should be okay but i'm a little concerned as apparently it's not a very well known brand. http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/specs-pegatron-2ad5-corporation/

Yes your motherboard is compatible with any GPU you wish to install.....all modern graphics cards use a pci-e x16 and all modern motherboards have a pci-e x16 slot/s. There is no other compatibility issue, just as long as the CPU and motherboard chipset is fast enough to not bottleneck the GPU. As for your CPU, a quick comparison has it almost equal with an i5 4690K which is currently very popular with gamers.
So as long as you can fit a large card in your case (you do have a small micro ATX MOBO, which often means small case), your MOBO and CPU are fine, upgrade your PSU and RAM and you shouldn't have any issues.

Hey, thanks for the response, very helpful. I've checked around and found that my case is big enough to accommodate the GTX 980 Ti. Just need to find a PSU that's at least 650w that'll fit as well now.

Thanks, would you happen to know if this will fit in my PC? The specs show it to be a bit bigger than my current PSU. Here's a link to the dimensions for my case (near the bottom of the page), if that's any help.

You forgot the link for your case specs.

Yeah, sorry about that. 😛 Just updated the post with it now.
