I'm ordering some new parts for my Packard Bell iXtreme M5800 desktop computer. Specifically, I will be ordering a new graphics card, PSU and RAM. Here are the parts I am ordering:

  • Graphics Card: XFX HD 7850 Core Edition 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Dual DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
  • PSU: Corsair CMPSU-600CXV2UK Builder Series 600W Power Supply
  • RAM: Corsair Memory XMS3 8GB DDR3 1333 Mhz CAS 9 Dual Channel Desktop


If anyone could tell me if these parts are compatible with my PC, I would be very grateful. I have already had lots of varied feedback from others (some say that the graphics card will not work because it is too long) etc. I would just like someone to clarify what will and wont work with my PC.

Thanks in advance, +REP to best answer.

I forgot to mention that I'm also ordering this monitor: LG IPS234V IPS LED 23" Monitor Full HD with HDMI

Will the graphics card be able to support this?

Thanks

As long as the graphics card fits it should be okay. PSU should work fine just like any other, same with the RAM.

Thanks for the help. How could I check if the graphics card will fit before I buy it?

Look at the dimensions of the graphics card, and then look at the dimensions of your case. The height of the graphics card, and the width of the case is what you want to compare.

Your motherboard has 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, and the graphics card is PCI Express x16, it will work granted your case is big enough. As for the PSU, that graphics card requires minimum 500W, i don't know what else you have running in your desktop but the PSU varies with what you plan to run. The ram will work ok also.

Thanks! I'll get the 600W just to be safe (I don't know the wattage of my current PSU). Is there anywhere online I can compare the dimensions of graphics cards? I can't open my case at this moment in time.

EDIT: Also, does this graphics card require a power cable from the PSU, and can the PSU do this?
