Will these parts fit in my case?

SourSkittle · Apr 29, 2014

I am planning on rebuilding a pc with a case that is 16.28" x 6.89" x 15.24" in size. It's the case of the HP Pavilion a6130n. I have researched and haven't found any answer to my question. Will these parts fit in the case? And are they all compatible or not?

AMD FX 8350
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333
Seagate 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card
Enermax 550w 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

If any of these don't fit, what recommendations do you have at a similar price, or, if it's the only option, which case would be a great replacement, at a good price.

And by the way, uh, what form factor is the a6130n case? Micro ATX Desktop or Micro ATX Mini Tower etc.?

The case will struggle with space, it is pretty small. You may need another case.
Also another note: Better get another motherboard, the one you have picked is based on an old 760G chipset which is not made for newer Vishera/Piledriver CPUs like the : FX 4300, FX 6300 and FX 8300 series. Get a motherboard with at leas 970 or better, 990 chipset.
What is your overall budget and where do you live?, so the members here can help you select the best parts for your budget

I am trying to stick to a micro atx board so if you could find an AMD 990 chipset board, please notify me. I live in Australia. Thanks for the heads up

Sorry, there are no 970 or 990 mATX available, only old 760G chipset. However, Intel does have better mATX motherboards. Maybe you should get i5, instead of FX 8350. Intel motherboards offer better PCIE, better SATA controllers and better upgrade path.
With AM3+ you are stuck at FX 8300 series
With any 8 series Intel motherboard, you can upgrade from i5 to i7 in the future.

Yeah, I was already thinking about going towards an i5 or i7. The i5 is faster and is at a similar price to the FX 8350, so I think I'll just go with Intel. Thanks for the help.
