See the metal between the slots are normal
04dcarraher

Hmm, i dunno, people might think im crazy but im still not convinced its going to fit, i cant see how it will, it looks my case was made for slim cards. Well, i guess i'll have to find out, thanks very much for your help ^^. May i ask one more thing, if i was to wait quite a few months, would prices likely drop on the newer gpu's like the gtx 460 for instance? I did want to buy the 5770, but im not sure it will really be worth it in terms of its performance.. Thank you, Sean

Dont worry :P Those Pci slot covers come off. Ethier they are attched by a screw or they are attached with a metal tab which you will have to bend and snap them off. 04dcarraher

Lol yeah i guess i should be alrite, but what about the metal bit in between the slots? Would i take that out too? Sorry to be a pain in the a**, but if i do upgrade i dont want to find out i cant actually fit the card in there lol

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103021here you go, this is my case, if you click on the picture you'll see the back of it and hopefully what im going on about lol. The metal plates you take out to put the gpu in is what im worried about, like blocking the card.

Do these specs look good enough to run most games on high? I might try Crysis 2, So thats another reason for my getting a new PC. But my knowledge of PC Specs can be outmatched by a above average monkey. So i was wondering if these specs looked ok. btw the price for this is £1389.
DeX2010

That should easily run most games on high, at high resolutions as well. That would run the current crysis maxed without problems..

If you have a normal 9600GT which is 9"long the GTX 460 is 8.25" long. It should fit just fine. 04dcarraher

Thats not whats on my mind dude, i mean width wise, because im thinking the expansion slots on my machine arent wide enough to take a bulky card like that, unless i remove the metal covering like i did to add in my gpu...hmm maybe i shouldnt of got such a cheap case :/

I dont know when, but eventually i want to get rid of my old gpu and get something quicker. The only thing on my mind is that the back of my xclio case the slot where the gpu goes in doesnt look big enough for a lot of the new bigger cards out. Its alrite if i buy a card like the his hd 5770 because that is slim like my 9600gt, but say for example, i bought a gtx 460, i dont think it would fit :S. I should take a pic really, but i hope you can understand what i mean, otherwise i'll post up a pic of a case and show u what im on about lol.
