Is there any mid-full size tower case that fit the MSI Z87I Mini-ITX ?

Hello!

I finally have enough of this the tiny Revolt case. It din't fit a MSI Gtx 1060 gaming x card I bought, which is partly my fault for thinking it would fit in a ITX sized case.

However I don't really want to change the motherboard and reinstall the OS, is there any midsize case or bigger where I can just take out the MSI Z87I Mini-ITX and put it in it?

 

Basically I want to transfer this mess

current spec

Intel® Core™ i7-4770K Processor (4x 3.50GHz/8MB L3 Cache) - Intel Core™ i7-4770K  

NZXT Kraken X40 Liquid CPU Cooling System w/ 140mm Radiator

16 GB [8 GB x2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - Corsair

MSI Z87I Mini-ITX -- Intel Centrion Wireless-N 2230 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth  - 6.7" x 6.7"

500 Watt - FSP 1U 80 Plus Gold Certificated Power Supply

Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Slot Load Drive

  

1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive

 

And lastly MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 3GB

10.91" x 5.51"

which I would loved to use if it actually fit. But I'm thinking of returning this to get a single-fan card so it would actually fit the revolt, of course I will keep the MSI if I found a worthy case to transfer it to.

So is it possible to transfer those component to a case of similar size above without replacing any parts?

 

 

Thank you for your help once again.

Off topic question, how do you actually tell what the gfx card profile/size and heat sink/fan without any picture? Shopping for them physically at Frys Eletronic, I have little clue how the card actually look inside without somehow opens the box.

@GrandExchange You can pick up any case you like as ITX motherboard will fit in any mATX or ATX case.

 

As for the size of the gpu, you can find out its size usually on manufacturers website, or by reading online reviews.

Don't worry. It is better to ask, than to repeat the mistake as you did with the GPU not fitting in.

Although, I must say that

this is also not a bad option.

Not at all and at this point given the PSU shape I have I'm still unsure about changing case. I really dislike this case though, everything about it require unusually shaped hardware like the PSU below. I wish to upgrade to a Mid or full tower at some point.
