I was wondering if the gigabyte gtx 970 can fit in my phanteks enthoo pro, and how much space would be left if not much then I would rather go with MSI GTX 970 

and one more thing, because its my first build I wanted to know should attatch the GPU to my motherboard first then put it in my Case or should put the motherboard in the case and then install it?

Help is appreciated

thanks

yes it can, there will still be quite a bit of room.

Put the motherboard in your case, and then install the video card last -- after everything else is installed.

Well you can always go to gigabytes website to get the length of the GPU, then go to the website of your case manufacturer and get the maximum supported gpu length for the case and find out that way.
