Ok so I have this case (had it for 10 years, old I know but it's still almost new as I never carry it around).
I currently have the Nvidia GTX 550 Ti installed in it and it fits easily.
But, I was planning to upgrade my PC, sometime this year, to a Skylake CPU, DDR4 memory and the EVGA GTX 960 4GB Gaming card sold by PCandParts.
My question is, how do I make sure the GTX 960 will fit in my case (mostly length wise) and, even if it does, that it will not block airflow coming from the front intake fan ?
Assuming the GTX 960 doesn't fit in my current case and I end up buying the GTX 950 SC GAMING 2GB... will the performance be much inferior to that of a GTX 960 (other than the fact that the 950 has only 2GB VRam instead of 4GB Vram on the 960) ?
Trying to build a PC that would smoothly run games like Star Citizen and No Man's Sky when they come out.
