Sapphire r9 270x dualx oc edition 2 gb graphics card
Amd fx6300
Crossair xsm3 8gb ddr3 ram
M5a97 le r2.0 motherboard

I have a 1tb hard disk already
and a cabinet i bought in 2004 4 my old pc its dimentions are lxbxh is 42cmx16.5cmx36cm.

My question simply is can this cabinet fit in all my components if not what shall be the dimentions of the new cabinet i shall pick. If you can please explain the method of making such decision too.that would be helpfull
 
The motherboard you ordered is ATX form-factor measuring 30.5 cm x 22.9 cm

So basically, you need an ATX form-factor case for it.

If in any doubt, buy an ATX form-factor case, or post make and model of existing case, may be able to find out from that if it's ATX or not. It's a 10 year old case but there might be some info on it somewhere on the web.
