Quick question.

I recently bought the MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition to take advantage of the super free games offer but now i have some questions about fitting it in a new system.

I'm looking at getting the 'Titan 8700i Pulse' prebuilt system, which is roughly this :-

- Case: Antec Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case (default choice, options available)
- Power Supply: Corsair GS 600w PSU
- CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40GHz @ 4.40GHz Ivybridge CPU
- Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LX2 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
- Cooler: Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler

Will the 7950 fit inside this machine? I was planning on switching that in instead of the basic HD 6450 that comes with it (my girls can have that in their PC). The cooler is huge though.. i just wanted some reassurance that i will have no problems getting the 7950 in.

Thanks.

Any reason? Is it purely a size thing?

Thanks.. truth be told i'm a little nervous about the idea of building it myself but its tempting to have a go.

Would a 550w psu be enough?

What other bits would i need to buy to build myself? I'm assuming some kind of thermal paste like

Is there anything else?

ok.

Right so would anyone be able to spec me a new comp w/ £850ish budget?

I already have GPU (MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express), keyboard/mouse/windows7.

I would like it to include a monitor (24"), SSD, 2tb HD, wireless card, good OC ability.

Thanks.
