Help with choosing a case

[SoupyPancakes]

I have an Aspire Tc-120 I just learned that I need to find out if a case can fit my mother board I am not sure where to begin. Orignally I just decided on choosing one that I thought looked the best, but I realize that is no longer the case. I wanted to get the Corsair Carbide Clear 600C Inverse ATX Full Tower Case. Please help!!!

Boom.  Question answered, close thread!

 

Just kidding.  What is your budget and what other components do you plan on installing into the case?

that is still fine for the air 540 if you have the room for it  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139022

okay thank you I will go with the 540

The Aspire TC-120 is an mATX board right? Don't get the 540, its a full size ATX case, your tiny board is going to look seriously gimpy in that case.

Two better options given your mobo, the first is still a Corsair series case in case thats your preference:

Cases for anything smaller than ATX have a long standing tradition of not having enough cable management room. By using a full size ATX case, you'll void most of those issues, but you'll inherit some other ones. You're gunna have to stretch a few cables to get them to route properly through the cable management grommets, and you might even have a case fan wire that might be too short to reach your mobo's fan headers.

the air 540 will give you some room for upgrades

Okay thank you all for the help. All very good points that I never considered. Ill decide on which case when I go to buy 1 online later this week.

 Soupy you have a prebuilt PC worth around 300£ . You have a budget of 200...now i dont know if the are usd or gbp. 

If i was you i will spend a little bit extra on the PSU and on the GPU. Let me give you some examples :

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/600w-corsair-cxm-builder-series-hybrid-modular-80plus-bronze-1x120mm-atx-psu

and for the case :

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsair-carbide-series-spec-03-with-red-led-fan-aggressive-mid-tower-windowed-computer-gaming-case

 

 Jon im preety sure that he wanted to show us his computer. 540 case is specially designed for watercooling especially with rigid tubing. Spending around 100 gbp for that case is no reason for you . The spec 03 have a very nice look and also cable management (also someone here said that usually matx cases does not have enouf space...wich is tottally wrong)

[SoupyPancakes]

Im CAD but I will look at the items you think are good for me im always open for more options.

  Well thtas a reason in plus to get a better gpu....that 960 comes with 4 gb of ram...it is some horse power to be considered

True and thanks for the help
