Usually when Newegg puts a combo together, it should work. I've looked into it and the card won't fit without removing the drive cage. The card is 270mm long and the case supports 230mm without removing (330mm with removing).

Ok thankyou. Now this may sound may sound bad, but its the HDD drive bay not the dvd/cd drive bay.

Yes I'm aware, you will need to remove the HDD cage to be able to fit that graphics card.

However, seems like you can just install your HDD in a different spot and the graphics card will fit.


Just mount the HDD lower and it will fit. Thought it was a removable "cage" at first but nope.

Cases usually come with all necessary screws required to get the system up and running, I wouldn't worry about it and it this case, they do come with it.

An intake fan would also be a better idea for better airflow resulting in overall lower temps. I'd get 2 if possible to optimize the airflow of your case in equilibrium since you case can take 2 front fans.
