what do i do to get an r9 390 in here and make it work well? can i just plug the 390 and a 600W antec PSU and it will be fine? 

 

heres my specs : 

nvidia geforce gtx 745

460W PSU (its dell's i think) 

16 gb ram (4x4)

Intel core i7 4790 CPU 

1TB HDD

please try to think of a solution to use the existing motherboard and case to make the r9 390 work here.. i have no spare money to spend on a full tower

How long will it take you to save up an extra $30-$36 for a new case?

yes you can plug in a 390 and an Antec PSU, replace it with the current PSU obviously 

remove the current video card and replace it with the 390.

i would recommend putting some new fans in there too tbh 

 

thank you man , you gave me some confidence to buy the 390 , lil bit afraid it wont work cause its so expensive for me..

in my country a good case is about a 100$ while in canada the same case will cost you about half , so thats why i wanna use that case , i might think about it but man im spending like 110% of my available cash on that 390

How about you get a 380x Nitro instead of a 390 and buy a new PSU and case as well?

i can cut off of the gpu price and performance somehow and get a new case yeah , but my question is if i can use this case for the r9 390 , i really want the 390 man..

I know and understand that, but you might also suffocate that 390 if you do get it because of the lack of airflow in the case
