When in doubt, look up the physical max compatible sizes with the case manufacturer: You need to get an ATX PSU under 175mm long (which you have), a videocard shorter than 315mm (which you seem to have), an MATX motherboard (which you have) and a cooler under 172mm tall (which you have).

I mean it's the only good looking case in my budget 6 hours ago, boggy77 said: i would also recommend going with a different motherboard may I ask why?
