Hello I'm getting a new rig 4 gaming and Bitfenix Prodigy M looks like an awesome case, but I heard that long graphics card won't fit if optical drive is installed. Is it true? Will getting a smaller graphics card (Eg. Gigabyte's R9 290 instead of Sapphire's) help? If not can you link me a similar case that would fit both (µATX pls) or at least a good and cheap external optical drive capable of both buring and reading?

It will probably fit but you will almost definitely have to remove one or more drive bays in order to do so. The case only supports video cards up to 250mm in length without removing drive bays, while the video card is 298mm long.

I recently purchased a Bitfenix Prodigy M. I don't know if it's the motherboard or what but I cannot fit a DVD drive and a video card at the same time. Honestly I wasn't too bothered by it because I only needed the DVD drive long enough to install Windows :D 

My specs:

Bitfenix Prodigy M (black) case
Asus M5A78L-M LX Plus motherboard
AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHZ 6-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Asus Nvidia GTX 750 TI 2GB (OC edition)
A-Data Premier Pro 256GB SSD
Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze PSU
Kingston Fury 8GB RAM

A single card will fit with Optical drive not a dual card setup http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/prod...

Keep this in mind as well or the PSU physical size http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/prod...
