Hey guys, I have been looking around for a new PSU to support a better GPU and I am really liking the RM650 by Corsair. But I am wondering if the RM650 will fit in my Node 304 with a new GPU (something like a GTX 770 or 870 when it is released).

Thanks guys!

It is 160mm long and modular so you cant fit 770 or any long GPU in it, node only fits max 160mm non modular PSU's with full leinght GPU's

Error 709: Walrus on the road!

 I wonder why you'd need a 650W PSU in a system with max. 1 VGA. Even a R9 290x can easily be powered by a 500W PSU, so you could choose a smaller one or maybe even use you old one (depending on the old PSU).

Old one is a CX430. I want to go Modular and get/make some sleeved cables so I can make my build look sexy :3
