Hi
I am planning to get a decent GPU over the next couple of weeks and I have a few questions. First of all, this is my current setup:
CPU: Intel Core I7 2600k 3,4Ghz
GPU: Ati Radeon HD 6450 1GB
RAM: 8GB
Mainboard: Asrock z68 extreme3 gen3
PSU: BeQuiet Straight Power E9 400W
Windows 7 64Bit
I am planning to go for the GTX 970 from MSI. Therefore I will be needing a new PSU. Now I asked on the graphics section of this forum and the RM 550 was recommended to me. Now I am slightly confused with the descriptions. According to Amazon, it is compatible with Intel Haswell and Z87 mainboards. Does this mean it isn`t compatible with my setup?. Also when it comes to measurements, with my current PSU it says '16 x 15 x 8.6 cm' but with the Corsair one it says: '15 x 8,6 x 16 cm'. Is this just a different way to write the same thing, or does it actually make a difference? (will it end upside down or something?) All in all: Is this PSU compatible with my system and will it fit into my case like my current PSU?
Thanks in advance for your answers
