hi all ,

i am building a new computer and looking for a case, though were i live there aren't many options. i found this thermaltake case which is cheap and wanted to know if it will fit to my build:
mobo: asus p8z77-v
cpu: i7-3770k
cpu cooler: noctua nh-d14
gpu: msi gtx-660ti
psu: seasonic 750w x-series
ssd: samsung 840 series 250gb
ram: crucial ballistix tactical 8gb x 2
and 2 hdd and 2 odd.

will it fit ? is it good enough for this build?

tnx
 
Solution
It will fit and it is more than enough of a CPU cooler for that build. It's the best alternative to an open loop custom water cooling setup

It won't fit not enough room according to the specs of both.

Well i bought it yesterday and set all night to assemble it together, and it fits, and even has a few mm spare. But tnx for replying!
I actually wanted to change it to the a41 but it was out of stock.
