Yeah they do come in different sizes and different cards within the same range can sometimes come with different sizes.

Very nice machine you'll have there!

That GPU has a length of 280.35 mm, check that'll fit within your case as I believe the 970 was only about 260mm in most cases.

This is what I ended up with, I was right, the only thing I haven't replaced is the PSU and storage. Bought a nice plain full tower, don't need twinkly lights, it's the screen I look at.

Ah well, payday next week....

Sorry about the crap light in the pic

The K version of Intel CPUs are unlocked and can be overclocked. Especially if you use a simple liquid cooler.

Just seen this deal for a better processor and motherboard as a bundle for less than what you've got: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/amd...ign=12-06-2020

That's a stonking deal if you can get to it in time!

Wow, just looked up my current GPU (GTX 970) on Amazon, and it's more expensive than the RTX 2070 plus that I've just ordered.
