Hello! I really need some help, i am building a computer for a friend and he needs it to be compact - portable.

But extremely powerful at the same time. So i am building him an Micro-Atx rig.

I am using this case for the build

"BitFenix Prodigy M Midnight Black Steel/ Plastic Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case"

(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811345030).

But i really want to use this GPU! "GIGABYTE GV-R797TO-3GD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB"

(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125439).

The thing is i really want to know if this will fit. This is very important please i really need some help. I will verify best answer.
 
Solution
Yes it will fit it. Pulled this from their website:
Despite its small stature, Prodigy is engineered for maximum flexibility. Remove the top HDD cage to fit long graphics cards up to 320mm in length. Bolt a 240mm water cooling radiator in the top, or if the build demands it, remove the entire HDD cage and put the 240mm radiator in the front, while still being able to install up to five 2.5" drives. With multiple installation options, Prodigy is a small case that truly does it all.

Also that card you posted converted to MM is about 284.988mm

Hope this helps,

There's no way to be sure just from looking at it. Although, it does say this in the description "Prodigy M can accommodate dual long graphics cards (SLI or CrossFire)..." so I'd go for it personally.

However, if you want to make extra sure, I'd email the BitFenix customer support people and confirm it with them.
