Hi there!

Im very noob with components dimensions, in concrete with case dimensions.
Yesterday i bought this hardware:

MAINBOARD MSI H87M-P33 (58.20€)
PROCESSOR intel. core i5 4670 3.4 1155 6mb (188.80€)
COOLER cooler master hyper t4 (27.80€) (in europe evo212 it's seems to be inferior)
MEMORY corsair. 8gb ddr3 pc1600 xms3 kit 2x4gb (74€)
POWER SUPPLY aerocool templarius imperator 550 80plus bronze (48.40€)
CASE AeroCool V3X Advance Devil Red Edition 34.80€
GRAPHIC CARD Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 OC 2GB GDDR5 (238.40€) *(will be buy after christmas)

And i have a serious problem with case, the cooler dont permit install a lateral chasis fan, and i suspect that nor the GTX760.

Case dimensions:
Height limit for CPU coolers 170mm
Biggest size for M/B 305mm x 244mm
Biggest size for VGA card 350mm x 116mm x 60mm

I can read in box of CPu cooler, dimensions: W131.6 x H152.3 x 72.5

Dimensions GTX760 in shop page: Card size L=275mm W=136.6mm H=43mm
Dimensiones in spanish official nvidia page: Altura 11.11 cm (111.1mm) / 4.376 Inches, Longitud 24.13 cm (241.3mm) / 9.5 Inches
What is true?

Im finding in my local store, this are the available case:

http://www.appinformatica.com/torres.htm

My max budget 37.30€ aprox the equivalent to nox nx200, in others words, below of 40€.

I made a preselection:

1-aerocool GT black advance
http://www.aerocool.com.tw/chassis/gt/905.html

I like this, is my preference election, have frontal and back fan included, but i dont know if a lateral fan is posible because cpu cooler, i think that yes, the cpu is in top and PSU down. 35.30€

2-coolermaster k350
http://apac.coolermaster.com/en/product/Lines/mid-tower-k-series.html
35.20€
-Maximum Compatibility:
VGA card length: 315mm / 12.4 inch
CPU cooler height: 148.5mm / 5.8 inch

This isn't my favorite because i think that cpu cooler exceed the dimensions :-(
But have vents in top, windowed... its cool.

3-Nox NX200
http://www.nox-xtreme.com/en/product/nx200/61/

This is more expensive of my selection 37.30€, and not say the max dimensions of cpu cooler nor graphic card.

both cases can handle your components in terms of size, but since you have a budget limitation ill go with the aerocool vs92.

Seems cool.
But is 47.50€ white model (49.50€ Black model) vs 35.30€ aerocool GT black advance.
Only include the back fan vs front+back fan.
Top vents vs not top vents.
Not include air filter in bottom vga fan.
Is a more expensive solution vs aerocool GT. Initially and postinitially (front fan, bottom fan+air filter).

But with GT case i dont know exactly if CPU cooler will touch with a 120mm side fan, (anyone can clarify this?) Then thermal take seems a best election.

Thermal take isn't more hard to make positive cooling with so many apertures in case?

the problem is, your options are limited on that store for your budget man, can you go to another store where you can find the 1st 3 cases i recommended? Those 3 cases suits your budget and for sure will accomodate your cooler and gpu.

I find in other store the CM N200 56.49€, NZXT Source Elite 210 51,13€.
I think that in my country only have 4 or 5 suppliers to all pc stores.
In other spanish online store NZXT Source Elite 220 59€+7€(transport), Antec GX700 same price.
