Will one of these cases work for me?

[RussianTaco]

I'm having trouble finding out if one of the spare cases I have will work with a pc I bought that has a damaged case

 

Case number 1: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1019135-REG/thermaltake_vp400m1w2n_chaser_a71_full_tower.html

 

 

Case number 2: https://www.amazon.com/HP-H3Y72AAR-ABA-Pavilion-Refurb/dp/B00CCBVGTY  [it's currently still got all the parts in it but I can take them out to use the case]

 

 

Specs:

 

MOBO: MSI B550-A PRO

 

GPU: MSI 3060 12GB

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600

 

PSU: ARESGAME AGT 1000W

Actually it may be this thermaltake case I'm having a hard time telling : https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LmXfrH/thermaltake-case-vp300a1w2n

Have you considered using this button?

 

Also, any ATX case will work here. Here's the PCPP Filter set for you to start searching.

stay clear of premanufactured systems, most of them are propretary, and might not fit an ATX mainboard, and if it does, put dremel in your toolkit for building in it.

No, the HP case won't fit your B550-A Pro, it mATX case versus ATX.

Plus, I don't get why you have a no-name brand 1000W PSU, which is also overkill.

 

If you want to fit into that HP case, you should use this motherboard. https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TUF-A520M-PLUS-Motherboard-DisplayPort/dp/B0997N7P12/ref=sr_1_13?crid=3T7VJJM2SWXLI&keywords=X570m&qid=1707754191&sprefix=x570+matx%2Caps%2C428&sr=8-13

I didn't pick the PSU this is a used PC I bought for christmas that stopped working and of all the things it could be I know I definatly need a new case as the one I'm currently using is badly damaged, I thought it was cosmetic only but it's actually causing problems. The simple fix would be to get a refund but I'm a idiot who bought it from a guy from facebook. This was my2nd gaming pc  and I didn't know much about parts besides recently learning about gpu's to make sure I didn't get a shit one like the first pc I bought years ago, I'm the sucker youtubers use as examples in there videos to beware of buying junk lmao. Thank you for the mobo link I do like mini cases but don't care if it fit in the HP case I just wanted to make sure one of the 2 cases I had would work before I attempt to move everything over. Thanks for replying man been posting a lot of questions trying to troubleshoot this pc on here/reddit/facebook and not getting many responses or help so I really really appreciate you replying
