Hey,

I've decided to build a new PC using these parts:

Motherboard: Asus Z87-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£105.99 @ Ebuyer)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£59.99 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card (£198.91 @ Scan.co.uk)
Power Supply: XFX 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply (£80.01 @ Amazon UK)
Storage is being taken from the old HDs on the existing system.
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) (£67.19 @ Aria PC)
Cooling system: Old Alienware water cooling system and fans

However I'm using an old Alienware Predator case from 2006. It's not the greatest looking case but I'm happy with it.


I'm really concerned that once all I've bought all of the parts, that they won't fit. However i've looked up the old mobo and it's been described as an ATX, the same as the new mobo. Does this mean all of the parts are going to fit?

Or should I get a new case?

They should technically all fit inside your old case. If the old alienware was specified as an ATX __-Tower, then you should be fine. If you're that worried about it, you can always buy another case if all the parts don't fit, which I'm sure they will.
