So I have an ATX mobo with an i5-4670k and need to replace my gtx 460 from like 4 years ago. I'm planning on getting a GTX 770 and at some point a coolermaster evo 212 for overclocking purposes;

Evo: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
770: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127751

The 770 is almost 11 freaking inches and the cooler is 159 mm tall which means my case needs to be wide enough it to mount on my mobo and long enough to fit the card without my HDD getting in the way! Having a hard time find a long wide case or maybe I'm over estimated how big my case needs to be?

Either way if someone can recommend something on newegg.ca that would be great! budget is about $120 ish. THANKS!

Corsair Carbide 500r! Very nice looking case with great airflow / nice led fans included.
NZXT Phenom's are also pretty good cases, but the airflow is a bit less compared to the carbide / in my opinion some of them look a bit plastic (cheaper build quality). My personal favorite was the Phenom at first, but the Carbide will give me more for my money in my opinion.


PS: The carbide 300r is also very good price/performance wise, but I found the 500r better looking ;). That is a personal preference though.

Has it got front side fans? If not, don't buy it. The glass window will decrease airflow a little bit, but hey, airflow isn't everything :p.

You might want to go with the NZXT Source 210, pretty similar case for a much cheaper price. It is a case used by a lot of people =)

It comes with a top and rear fan with options to add some to the front and bottom. I could probably move the top one to the front though. I checked out the NZXT Source 210 but at only 7.68 in wide, I don't think the cooler I want will fit. Might be very close though.

http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=40414 it will JUST fit. I would indeed recommend a bit of a bigger case for the sake of space :p. What about the Sharkoon T28? Good airflow/ nice LED (Red/Blue/Green)/ Side panel/ Cheap =).
