Hi,

I'm going to uprgade my PC soonish but need to check on whether the various gfx cards will fit in my case.
I notice on some of the product descriptions it will say the card is xxxmm long and needs a certain power supply.

Is there anywhere where you can view this sort of detail - I've checked some of the manufacturer sites and they don't seem to go into this detail.

My current case is a Coolermaster Centurion but I've no objection to upgrading to a case that will def. fit most of the newer crop of cards.

Cheers
Andy
 
They tend to be the same size unless specifically mentioned as extra long. So unless you have an abnormally compact case or some huge cooler or whatever taking up space near the video card slot there shouldn't be a problem. Look in the manual from the card manufacturers website you are interested in if the PSU rating required is not easily found, it is usually in there.
