Will this graphics card fit into the system?

Hi Tomshardware users.....

I am very curious if this card will fit into the system I have in mind...
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp42966kr (THIS IS THE GPU)

This is the case.... http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xion-case-xon310bk


And this is the build overall....I already purchased the MOBO, Case, RAM, and the CPU. My next step is the GPU.

I want to run GTA V at a good frame rate, and seeing the processor and CPU I have, looking on youtube it can run gta v fine.


Thank you very much all, and I hope to have some answers! Thanks!

The case support a card maximum length of 12.99 and your card is only 10.5 so to answer your question yes it will fit in the case.
As for how well you will run games, you will have some trouble only because its 2gb vram, I would suggest 3GB and above for GTA 5 and the newer games as they require much more to run stable.

I would suggest an upgrade of your GPU as AAA games such as GTA V use a lot of VRAM and yours only has 2GB. If you want to spend a little bit more and get a lot in return, try the MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 4GB

As for the case, it should fit fine

Heres a video of nearly the same video. But Yeah, if I have a few extra dollars I'll get a 4gb.

Another question, will i need CPU cooler for gaming? I've read on here no, but idk if it has changed.
