HardwareCanucks seem to like that case. 

 

http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=975 Product manual does show support for M-ATX mother boards. 

 

Oh and please do consider buying a new PSU as well

Well it was thanks to hardwarecanucks that I saw that case :D

Why new PSU? This forum recommended that one.

That's crazy!  O.o

 

No one here would recommend THAT power supply... would they?  :(

 

@JorenBus  You could just cut holes under the GPU to let air into the GPU.  Remove all your parts first though... and make some cloth filter to keep dust out as well.

Was it recommended under a tight budget? 

 I do know the VS550 is a pretty good PSU for tight budgets. But considering that you are running pretty high end components and you'd probably overclock them. I wouldn't trust a PSU that isn't even 80+ bronze for that.

 

Its all the way down in tier 7. Worst than a CX even.

I just removed my side panel and now it's running at 73°C in overwatch.

I am serious about drilling holes.  Make like 50 holes in the bottom of the case and make a dust filter out of cloth.

Well there it is. Airflow problem. 

 

You have the money for your new case right? I would advise you to get a better PSU with that money first. 

 

Again, do you have a spare fan?

Alright I'll have a look at a better PSU.

No I don't think so. Also, in this case I can only place 1 more fan, at the very bottom in the front.

Don't make the kid buy a new PSU.  So he has a crappy PSU.  One day it will die and then he can buy a new one.

 

Contrary to the scare tactics people use here, a dead PSU does not usually result in any other damage to the PC.  I have had two very crappy PSUs die while in a machine, nothing happened.

Yes that's where you should be placing the fan. That was what helped my r7 265 tremendously. You have a fresh air intake on the bottom front. Don't let it go to waste.

 

Again it doesn't need to only be a case fan. it just needs fan that can plug into the mobo. Like a cpu fan.

I'm recommending him the PSU since OP doesn't need a new case yet. Its just simply prioritizing a more important component over the other.
