I got gtx 770 msi twin frozr oc edition its a fat long card and its suffering the hell in my atx acer predator case so i stopped at one full tower nzxt source 530 atx is it a good case? Nice cooling and future for 2-3 sli of msi? Also will it fit my current acer mobo its an atx mobo i think and will it fit the vs 650w corsair psu? I would like to go with another 770 but those msi cards are sucking the air from the bottom of the case and thru heatpipes they throw the air but this nzxt case don't have rear fans so they can be exhausts any better ideas? Or that case will do the work?

Well I bought a 450D and it's a mid tower but I think it's great. Nice quiet operation, dust filters, room for sli and water cooling if desired. Has room for 3-4 hard drives and 2 SSDs, if you need extra drive space look elsewhere.

Corsair has a bunch of good cases to choose from at different price points. The fractal design R4 looks really solid and good price, but doesn't have a space for a DVD drive - if you can live without the DVD drive that's a good option. Also the NZXT phantom 410 series are quite popular and reasonably priced.

From my personal experience I had a Antec 900 that served me well for over half a decade - but the corsair is more high tech with lots of bells and whistles (albeit the corsair feels a bit flimsy compared to the Antec). Only complaint about the Antec 900 is it sounded like a jet engine and didn't have any form of dust filters - ran cool though!

The 500R is the best case I've found over last 10 years. Also have a Corsair 600T, Antec 300 Illusion, & Antec 1200.
Can get the black 500R for $79.99 after rebates @ Newegg all the time. White version is a little nicer in my opinion but same layout.
Description states Mid tower but it's ~ 20" tall, 20" long, 9" wide. Fits my Windforce 3X 770, 120mm CPU radiator, 6 HDs, + with plenty of room to spare and awesome airflow.
