I want to upgrade my graphics card to a MSI gtx 1060 6gb gaming X but i'm not sure wether it will fit. I found that the max length of a card in this case is 316mm but when i measure the free space in my case its about 29cm
the MSI 1060 is 277mm. I am also concerned about the width.
any help would be appreciated.

specs:
Case: Cooler Master K380
motherboard: MSI H81M-E34

The Cooler Master website states that your case supports cards as long as the 690 GTX (293mm)

The card you listed is only 277mm and therefore will fit.

From your cases specifications: 'Max Supported VGA card length: 316.6mm / 12.5 inch'

What about the width? it will probably fit but i think that it might be to wide with the power connector.

 
Will be fine. The cards height is 140mm.

The case supports CPU cooler heights of 155mm - Therefore giving you 15mm --> 1.5cm of room between the top of the card and the case side panel.
 


thanks, i measured it and with the power connector it should just fit with about .5 cm left
