Is the GTX 660 compatible for my specs?

Hi,
I am going to invest in a decent graphics card and PSU for my computer.
I was wondering if these two would fit fine and work correctly in my computer:

Both of those ^

And my specs are:

So, do you think they would actually fit? And work correctly?
 
You need a better PSU than that. I'd advise a Corsair CX 600 for that card. You want about 550 watts or higher for that card and getting a 600 will give you headroom to work with. Cooler Master PSU's are only good in certain model lines, and that ones isn't fantastic. Also do some price checks on a 7850 or 7870 and see how they compare to the 660. The 7850 is about on par with the 660 and the 7870 would be better than both.

What's your case, because a high end and longer video card may not fit.

Mine is the standard Asus M3970 case.

I'll take a look at the other PSU's.
 
Judging by this picture, you're going to be pretty cramped for space. Can you measure along where your PCI-E port is and see how much space you have to put a graphics card in?

I'll take a look in the next day or two.
My friend is coming round, and he knows more about computers than me.
So I will measure it up and what-not tomorrow I guess.
 
This is going to be an extremely tight fit.

The card you're looking at is 10.2" long, almost 26cm, the pic of your case shows a standard width MicroATX board, which is 24.4cm, as you can see in the pic there is a little more room after the edge of the board. I think you should just be able to do it.

Looking at the card the power connectors are on the top side, which means it won't extend the length needed for the card! :)
 
Oh, my computer has no graphics card. It is intel, therefore there is nothing there....
So would it fit? That's my main concern...
