Go to solution Solved by TheKDub,

CASE : http://www.cclonline.com/product/146823/Z3-PLUS-WHITE/Cases/Zalman-Z3-Plus-White-Tower-Case-ATX/M-ATX-/CAS1464/

 

sorry for being a pain im really bad with dimensions :(

 

The case is alright, but I'm not too sure about the PSU.

 

How about this PSU instead? http://www.cclonline.com/product/145425/100-B1-0600-KR/Power-Supplies/EVGA-600-Bronze-Power-Supply-600W-/PSU0699/

i recently brought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler and it currently dont fit inside my case ( CiT Vantage Blue ) , i was wonder what i case dimensions i would need to make it fit .

A normal mid atx case should fit it, just be sure to check the max cpu cooler height in the case specs before buying it. (checking gpu length would be a good idea too)

Yeah... wouldn't recommend it.

 

about 99% of the time, power supplies that come with cases are complete shit, I'd suggest just getting something like a corsair cx600m PSU and then a separate case from one of these companies:

- Fractal Design

- Cooler Master

- NZXT

- Corsair

- ThermalTake

Not sure if the cooler will fit in there, if it does, it probably will be very close to the side panel.
