Hello! I recently just ordered a new Graphics Card and a New case, with some fans. I sort of got it without thinking [ I know I am stupid ] But here are the Items I got [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119225[/url] and a [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121634[/url] Was this a good choice for upgrading? Specs as of right now : Motherboard: ASrock Extreme 4 gen 3 Graphics card: EVGA 560Ti SC Processor: Intel i7 2700k @ 3.5GHz ( Hyper 212 EVO Cooler) HDD'S: A 1 Terabyte Hitachi Hitachi HDD & 160GB Intel 320 SSD 2 Terabyte barracuda Green 7200RPM RAM: 16.0GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz PSU: 850W Corsair TX PSU OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Yeah, they're good. I would've recommended a different 680 though, that one's more expensive and the cooler's size causes problems sometimes.

It can cover your other slots, though, a bigger case won't change that. It's also really heavy and bends the PCB.

Yes, other PCI/PCI-E slots possibly. Not really a problem unless you use them, and the weight isn't really that big of an issue for most people. Just not a card I'd recommend to people.
