Custom Build Compatibility

[Killerzcud]

Hi guys, I need a small help.

These are the parts that im gona use to get a new Custom build.

Now the problem is that Pcpartpicker.com says my graphic card is not compatable with the case. But the shop that Im gona get it from says it will fit.

So what i need to know is if it will actually fit.

 

Here is the link to pcartpicker : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Wc7ydC

 

Also do let me know if these parts are k too. Only these I could afford atm. And this is not only for gaming.

I work as a designer so will be using softwares like Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere.(thats why xtra ram)

And I am in the middle east so the prices are not same as everywhere.

All these are gona cost me like  USD 2495 here. I know its a bit much. :\

It's most likey the length or width of the card that is the problem.

maybe they just remvoe the front HDD cage.. idk

But that might require drilling out rivets, which is no fun.

 thats why u no buy a piece of crap $30 case imo.

[OAcesync]

That case is outdated and discontinued why do you even want it if you have such a good build?

[TheN00bBuilder]

 thats why u no buy a piece of crap $30 case imo.

 

But in that LEXA case, you have to remove rivets to remove that drive bay and it was $80 when it was being sold on Newegg.

Also can't remove the 3.5 bay in my case, either. And it was $100. Not cheap.

Well its a good looking case, dont really matter old or new. And its middle east. The options for cases are like limited. Some other cases cost more ...like really so much.

If you like the case, why not go with a shorter 980 card?

 

Like:

 

• MSI Twin Frozr Gaming http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-gtx980gaming4g (279mm vs the 284mm case limit)
• EVGA SUPERCLOCKED http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-04gp42983kr (267 mm vs 284mm case limit) 

        or the highest clocked card for the same price.

• EVGA FTW  http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-04gp42986kr (269mm vs 284mm case limit)

 

Not to mention, EVGA is customer support is much better than Asus's.  The MSI card matches the black and red, if build color is something important to you.

Im going with Asus motherboard so I though its better to get Asus Strix and it has like no noise...fans dont run unless needed to.

MSI not available here and no support also. Gotta check if EVGA is available.

Hey Killerzcud,

 

The problem comes that the case is 5mm short from what the GPU requires. You may be able to fit it, but you'd most probably need to remove the HDD cage and the airflow won't be optimal. Also that case does not have USB3.0 ports on the front panel while the motherboard supports it. 

 

I'd try to find another case that does not have these problems. If not, simply make the guys at the shop to build the computer for you so you can be sure everything will fit properly.
