Doubleing up ?

I've got a full size graphics card in now in the one below

Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X Rev2.0 WindForce 3X OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Battlefield 4 PC Game

Full size could mean anything from 15cm long right up to 35cm. Still recommend the tape measure, then you can pick and chose best card that will fit :-) Although I think that you could probably fit pretty much any card in that case from what I could find from a quick google.

I also did some very quick power calculations and given that the Maxwell gpu (GTX970 and GTX 980's) is so power efficient, you could probably slap a GTX980 in your box without even having to upgrade your power supply.... So pretty much the fastest single GPU graphics card that's currently available..... In theory your PC with a GTX980 fitted would only be pulling about 400 watts so you even have a bit of leeway!

Price wise, the best bang for your buck is the GTX970, but best card for performance is the GTX980... Personally I'd keep to the Nvidia's for now until the next gen AMD cards appear. Performance aside, they really seem to be winning on the lower power consumption and therefore lower heat output which is a big factor in an ITX build.

You can take the top HDD cage out of an itx Prodigy and that allows upto 335mm cards.

Thats loads of room.
 
Personally I'd prefer a reference blower style cooler in smaller cases, although the Prodigy isn't really that small so you'll probably be ok.

550w PSU is plenty for a single 980.
 
does anybody know were the registration card to register the product for more warranty is because I cant find it in the box ?
