I know this question has been asked before, but I want to know if I will be able to fit a GIGABYTE GTX 770 4GB inside my Antec 300 case. Because my doubts are high, I am considering simply getting a new case, but I can't find one that I like that will work. I really like my current case, because it is nice and simple, so I would love to keep it if at all possible. But if I can't, I need some recommendations for a new case that is similar to the Antec 300 in its simplicity that will also work.
GIGABYTE GTX 770 + Antec 300? New Case?

First two case's are exactly same on physical specs. Last one is bigger. I don't know which one you own.
You can see the GPU physical specs here : http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-4GB-WINDFORCE-Graphics-GV-N770OC-4GD/dp/B00CU9GOAO
Best option cut a cardboard and place it inside the cabinet with the same size as GPU. You will know it fits or not.

I'm afraid it won't fit if you just have the standard Antec 300. I have the same case, maximum video card length without modification is 11", that 770 is 11.4". However, the Gigabyte cards are usually pretty long thanks to their 3 fan cooler, you can probably find another one that will fit. Although, I understand wanting that one, it looks great. If you feel up to it, though, you could cut out the HDD cage, this will require some work, but opens up quite a bit more space for your GPU and should improve air flow, too. It might just be easier to buy a new case. I myself kind of regret buying it, but ah well.
Also, lonewolf's suggestion is great if you want to see for yourself whether or not it will fit.

Wow, thanks! I didn't even realize that there was a different variation of the case. One thing I'd like to know is whether or not I'll still be able to mount fans in the front, because currently I have two red LED 120mm fans in my standard Antec 300. I also slightly prefer the strait-edged frontal design of the standard case than the curved front edges of the "Two", but I can't complain. If I get it, I may try to see if I can swap out the removable front panels, but again, not a big deal to me. It does add some nice features that my current case lacks, so I will definitely look into it.
Thanks for the suggestion. At the moment, what it really comes down to is price. On the assumption that the card would fit, I only would get it because it is slightly cheaper than other models. Since it clearly will not fit, it would make more sense to buy a different model to avoid having to buy a new case, ultimately costing more. However, the Antec 300 Two seems to have a lot of features that my current case doesn't, so I may decide it's worth it to get it and spend the extra 30-40 bucks.
I have the Antec 300, and it fits (with less tha 1/8" to spare).
Actually, I bought the Gigabyte GTX 760 2GB Rev. 2.0, which is stated to be slightly longer (295 vs 292).
You should be good. By the way, I have the original Antec 300 (not the 300 two, or whatever its called).
What? Are you serious? Would it be too much to ask to get some pictures of this? I'd really like to see how you managed to fit it in there. If it even did fit, I don't think I'd even have space for my power cables in there, so I'd really like to see what you did with that. Are you sure you don't have the 300 Illusion or something? Perhaps some updated version of the 300?
