Hi guys

Will all the following components work together in harmony (while since I built a PC!)

GPU
HIS HD 7970 IceQ X² GHz Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (H797QMC3G2M) £281.99

CPU
Intel Core i7-4770k 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £263.99

MOBO
Asus Z87 MAXIMUS VI HERO Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £167.99

CPU
Corsair 2013 Edition Gamer Series GS 600W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020063-UK) £65.99

Case I will re-use is COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case,
Case dimensions: 20.65" x 8.39" x 18.98"

Should the card etc fit in my case ok?

Thanks in advance.. :-)

You need this cpu:

The 3770k cpu wont work with that motherboard.

Hi RJC

You are correct, posted wrong CPU, would be the i7-4770k.

Thanks, would you know if the GPU card will fit in my case?

Have amended OP now, thanks

I don't believe that card will fit without removing the hard drive cage from your case.

You can measure up but I believe there should be about 304mm between the PCI bracket and the hard drive cage.

That card is 311mm.

Edit: pastymuncher is right, I was looking at the CM 690 II

The card may fit but it will be very tight. Looking at Coolermasters website your case can take a card 314.9mm long with the lower cage still fitted. Looking at HIS website the card is 311mm long.
