I know about ATX and micro ATX, but I'm confused about cases slightly... I think I have a Mid-tower case, and inside my case is a micro ATX motherboard and it looks pretty squished inside my case, with my graphics card, PSU, and heat-sink surrounding it.
I'm not sure exactly about the difference between Mid-tower, and full tower, I know they're different sizes, but then what does ATX and mATX mean then??? A mid tower can support ATX, so what's the point of a full tower? just bigger, so they take up more space? This isn't my main question, please read-on further.
I want to buy a motherboard bundle, to be precise, this: http://goo.gl/UFn1kS
but I saw that the motherboard is ATX, and I'm not sure it will fit inside my case. On Amazon, my (mid-tower) case says it supports ATX and mATX motherboards...
My graphics card is pretty old, and is quite small (like old ones used to be) but recently I saw how big the high-end ones are (they are huge compared to my GPU), and I'm planning to buy one, but can someone confirm that this motherboard bundle, plus a GTX 760 with 2 fans (this: http://goo.gl/ClMSLs) will fit inside my case. Here is my case: http://goo.gl/22LuXs
Thanks for reading, I know I'm being a pain but I really don't know where to go to ask, so hopefully someone on Tom's hardware will help me.
