Joshua, The chassis will accommodate most video cards. You will also want to look at the power requirements for the specific model of card you choose to install, as it may or may not make upgrading the power supply necessary. If you would like, our Customer Service Team can help you with these questions. We can be reached, toll-free by phone at 855-490-2569 or by email, at: support@cybertronpc.com.

Your power supply is more than enough for this card. 300 watts is the minimum requirement, you have 350 watts so you are good to go, my friend.

Yes you can. You will need a larger than average tower however, as the 780 is a long card.

No, I wouldn't recommend you use this card with such low PSU. If you can't upgrade your power supply I would go with a 7750 instead. It would be better if you upgraded the power supply and buy a better card than either though.

Only if it is another 280x. Any brand will work , but it is best to get an exact match.

If it has a pci-express slot and power/supply has 6 pin pci plug you should be good to go.Make sure you download drivers and AMD applicable performanceprograms i.e. AMD catalyst. Good Luck.... Rudy

No, you would need something more like the Corsair RM850 to sufficiently power this dual GPU card.

Yes you can. I hope you have a good enough PSU to suffice the power consumption of those babies. A 850w PSU will do nicely!

must be pci express 16, most cards are best check for that spec. to get the best performance from the card you may need to upgrade the ram and power supply. the provided 300 watt power supply should power the card but for full performance its always best to upgrade to at least a 500 watt power supply, especially for heavy gaming.

Yes the card will work fine with it. That motherboard has PCIe 2.0 and the card does have the ability to work with PCIe 3.0 but you may or may not see any difference depending on what you are doing. As far as the performance difference the R9 280X is literally a rebranded Radeon HD 7970, and you could accurately say that the R9 280 is more like a rebranded Radeon HD 7950. Both of the cards will be excellent choices, I would probably go for the cheapest one myself and save yourself some bucks as the differences are small. It's interesting to note that AMD is releasing an interesting line of Cards. The 280 is just a less beefy copy of the 280X but is by and large the same card, much like the R9 290 and R9 290X are the same card, just less power on the 290.

I haven't upgraded my 280x, because there has been no need to. Still runs the most recent games on highest settings.

the current 300W power supply should be able to support up to GT630 Graphic card. But if you do need to upgrade to a higher end graphic card then you will need a higher power supply.

Yes..Put it in the X16 slot. (You have 1) . You will also need at least a 500 watt PSU and 2... 6 pin power plugs for this card.

Per the EVGA website you need a "Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply".You didn't mention what type and model PC you have. If it is an HP they come terribly under-powered. I would upgrade your power supply. Do not try and use that card with anything less than a 350 watt power supply. I'd get a bare minimum of a 450W power supply.

You can, and I did. You'll have to upgrade the power supply that comes with this because the stock one was only like 200(ish) watt.

I have a 850w power supply. A 650 will probably work. But like most things bigger is better and if you're gonna spend the money on a good card I would at least think about a bigger power supply. It's a great card though well worth the price.
