will STRIX GTX 980 fit ThermalTake Core V1 ?
will STRIX GTX 980 fit ThermalTake Core V1 ?

as i understand...
Tt Core V1 max GPU length is like : 28.5cm gpu (11.2")
but ...
Strix GTX 980 is about 28.86cm ( 28.86 x 13.44 x4.09 Centimeter)

judging from specifications..from both offical sites , Strix GTX980 won't fit Tt Core V1
but just in case anybody got their hand on Strix 980 and Tt Core V1 and can fit it in
please advice..

**
i'd prefer Asus Strix since i'm using SilverStone SFX (small form) 450W PSU which only includes 1x Pci-e 8Pin and 1x Pci-e 6pin , another GPU candidate is MSI GTX980 but that's require
me to change the PSU since MSI GTX 980 require 2x Pci-e 8pin on it.

thanks in advance.

Should swap out the PSU anyway if you want to use GTX 980. I would not run higher then GTX 960 with this PSU. 550-600W would be enough for one GTX 980, it has great power consumption numbers on paper but with high load in games it can use more.

my PSU is SFX 450W Gold ,i'm not sure but it specification said that it can handle GTX 980
and some people / critic said its better than some of 500-600 bronze / silver

I'd get a better Fully Modular PSU
non-Reference 980 GPUs such as ASUS Strix and Gigabyte WindForce can output upwards of 280-watts under very high loads.

Given your tight case, I'd just get one that is not any larger then something a bit closer to reference measurements, such as most of the EVGA ones. As ones such as Strix and WindForce are typically taller and longer then most.

Firstly it won't fit the case by about an inch.

Also, you would want 600 Watts with 42 Amps on the 12V+ rail to power the beast and keep her stable. The Asus STRIX GTX 980 uses up to 300W (via 6-pin and 8-pin cable) for better overclocking purposes, compared to the standard GTX 980 using 165 W (via 2x 6-pins), which could survive off a good 500W PSU.

Sorry, it looks like a no go...

If u aren't willing to change any of the current hardware, then I'd go with GTX 970

i'll wait until 980ti in the market and well see.

The Ti will most likely be even larger and require 2x 8-pin PCIE and have 6GB VRAM
Seriously, change the case and PSU, or get a smaller, lesser power consuming GPU.
