Will these fit into my case?

baird8888 · 06-18-2009, 10:48 AM

Just out of curiosity, i was wondering if this PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817702008
and this video card,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130339
would fit into this Gateway Case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883113087

Im looking to upgrade and was wondering how well they would fit, if not should i get a new case? and if so which case would you recommend?

Thanks to everyone~Baird

Any psu designed to fit an atx case will do . This one can only be fitted with the fan facing down. The graphics card is a long one and looks like it might cover the dimm slots on the motherboard (assuming you are using the original mobo)
There are gt 9800 cards on the same site that are shorter - the MSI model looks like it would fit.

Ok, so i took a look at the MSI 9800 gt and it looks like it will do the job and i wont have to get a new case. Will there be any clashes from the onboard ATI drivers with the nvidia card i want to put in? if so is there a simple solution to this because im really starting to like the nvidia cards over ati. also this one comes with a game.
Thanks for the help~Baird

You can change your bios settings to effectively disable the onboard graphics.
There shouldbe an option like 'vga unless pcie' or similar.
Normally installing an agp or pcie graphics card will override any onboard graphics.
