I have these things hooked up to my computer at all times:
22' samsung LED widescreens x2 (dual monitor set up)
Wacom Intuos 4 Medium
Logitech m505 universal wireless mouse and keyboard
Wifi Kodak esp office 2170
In spite of all of this I was wondering if my computer could handle the HD 6670 Gddr5 card. Thanks. I'm not much of a heavy gamer but I would like to play games like Batman Arkam City or Lego Batman. I design a lot if it matters. Just worried if my system could take the HD 6700 without causing damage in the long run or short run.
According to this:

^It can take it, but I just want to make sure.
Is there any other lower recommendation cards that would be on the safer side? Or is the HD 6670 safe?

Quick question

^The yellow cable connected to the motherboard, would it be possible for me to move that cable to the slot below it to make room for my gpu?

Sorry to ask, but how would one disable and enable their SATA, I have tried looking within the BIOS, but am unsure what I'm supposed to be looking for.

^Just swapped out my PSU. There was a lot of unused cords that I just crammed into the empty cd drive socket, is that ok? Is there any safety hazards I crossed?

I do the same thing but I use a doubled up sandwich bag to insulate the wires. That way they never touch anthing.

Thanks again for the fast replies. Do you guys think I should get a bigger case? Is the airflow alright?

Ah, alright.
Hey speedy,
How did you get the 560 ti in your case? Isn't there some kind of cable that powers up the start button that blocks the length of 9inches for the gpu?

So I just finished receiving all my parts in the mail and installing them. I also got rid of the infamous inspiron 620 vibrating case issue by sticking some felt strips on the panel. The HD 6850 was a very tight fit, glad I measured it out. Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this, greatly appreciated!
