PSU and case compatibility

[Special Agent 星雨]

ATX PSUs up to 180/170mm with a bottom 120/140mm fan installed; When not using any bottom fan location longer PSUs up to 300m can be used - Case specifications

 

Package dimensions (cm): 31 x 20x 9.5 - Power Supply specifications

 

My question is, can this PSU fit in this case?

how is this measured? which one is the length `-`

i take 31cm as the length?

if so, 31cm > 300m so yes it'll fit

but your case must be as long as 2 football fields  

 

jokes aside, if 31cm is the length and 30cm is the limit, it probably wont fit, especially if its a modular power supply

Yes I am ... I have all my other parts picked already, just not sure about whether this PSU is going to fit. The case is a Fractal Design Define S Mid Tower with Window Black.

Judging by the picture, its actually 20 cm LONG (front to back) and 31cm wide (side to side).

Oh my god .. I didn't see the "Product dimensions" part in the specifications table >< Sorry everyone, problem solved.

Product Dimensions (cm) : 14 x 16 x 8.6

so yes it'll fit just fine, even with the fans on the bottom

Then anything should fit, but what's the build, I certainly hope you aren't buying an overclocking CPU for a 60hz display, or a 980ti for a 1080p 60hz display

I'm .... getting an i5 6600K + GTX 970 by ... EVGA? All for a 144Hz monitor that I already have

Could probably afford an i7 6700 by going with one of the $60 MSI boards

 

and I'd stick to a 390 over a 970 at this point given all the DX12 stuff showing AMD cards getting pretty sizable performance gains with it, while maxwell doesn't have the hardware support for it.

Thanks for replying but the cheapest motherboard from where I come from that supports Intel Socket 1151 is $89....

It's because I live in Australia.

But your CPU choice is 1151...though I guess for a 144hz display the 6600K is fine
