I'd imagine it'll fit..BUT, you need to make sure your current case/mobo uses "standard" wire connections.

Depends on what type of kit you plan to install, but in most situations its going to be a very tight fit for a good cooling setup with that case, depending on the amount of hardware thats being transplanted into it.

7gb ram

How are you achieving that? You will be better off with less memory and using pairs of sticks for dual channel. e.g. 2x2gb + 2x1gb

Also the 700watt PSU is overkill unless you plan on adding a second card in the future. Even then its still more than enough.

Power *supply*

What's the brand, model, specs on the PSU? They are all on a sticker on the side of it.


(I'm just curious)

Got the first one covered, now just need to find out the other two. (mainly the specs)

700W doesn't tell us anything we really know.

find the Amp Rating specs on the sticker. (+3.3V, +5V and +12V Amp ratings)
