Hey
Sorry if something similar has already been answered its my first time on here.
Basically I have an old Compaq Presario SR1230uk case
Brand new hardware on the inside
problem was I ran out of money before full upgrading
My specs are
BenQ G2420HDBL monitor
M4A88TD-M EVO motherboard
Phenom X6 II thuban 1075T 3.0ghz cpu
2x 1gb corsair DDR3 1600mhz
Basically this case takes ATX psu's but only micro atx mobos
its really roomy, its not a slim case, one of them freakishly small ones
I want to know if it will fit in a sapphire 4850 or a XFX 5770
preferably the sapphire one as I can get it for £45
but I do remember hearing the xfx 5770 was a bit smaller
I know its easy to say, get a new case but I am on a very limited budget, limited in a way where I have only just enough for a PSU and card
I know I could get a 5670 as well without needed to upgrade the PSU but to be honest the last card I bought, a 7600gs was essentially outdated a week after I bought it and even though the 4850 is outdated it can play crysis on virtually max settings meaning it will do me fine for about 3 years
Also
I still have my old 300w psu, its about 4 years old, I am going to get a new 500w one in a month or two but was wandering if it would run either of these cards before then. If not I don't mind waiting with them in the box
Sorry about the long winded question as well
Thanks in advance for answering
