Will Cooler Master HAF 912 fit 2x Asus Strix GTX 970 in SLI?

As the title says. Here's the link to the case:

Also if I overclock the CPU and both GPUs, will it have enough airflow to keep the system cool?

I'm open to other affordable options as far as they're available for purchase online in India. I was going to go for a Phantom 530, but that is out of stock everywhere I look.

Thanks.

Depends on the motherboard layout I suppose. Where do your slots end up in relation to the chassis' slots?

I haven't bought all the parts yet, still in the process of figuring out what is compatible with what. I've never built a PC before so I've no idea how to answer your question. :??:

I probably will be buying asus sabertooth z97 mark 2 for my motherboard as it has SLI support and I'm not aware of the motherboard having any incompatibilities with the two graphics cards. Unless you have a better suggestion for both motherboard and the case...I'm all ears.

EDIT
I just found that one NZXT PHANTOM 530 that I mentioned in my op is in stock on one website but the price seems to be hiked ~20% so not sure I wanna pay that unless I can find nothing else. Will NZXT PHANTOM 530 being a full tower case fit the cards no issue?

Sabretooth Z97 has the following spacing, not every motherboard is the same, but most of the Two card SLI share this layout.

1x
16x
blank
1x
16x
1x
16x (at 4x)

Most mid-towers have seven physical slots. Though there are some out there with eight. A full tower will have 10 or 11, occasionally 12. That will absolutely fit the cards, but you will have some empty space without a Full-ATX board.

This gives you up to three slots width for each GPU. So dual slot, or slightly larger then dual slot will be fine. Also leaves three slots width for the lower card, so it should not interfere with the power supply.

Ok so just to clarify you're saying the CM case should be fine right? I heard the Asus Strix 970 is larger in size in comparison so that will not cause issues? What about the airflow...will I have issues with that?

Pretty standard dual fan axial. Fits in most Mid-Towers.

Gigabyte Windforce is extremely long and might hit drive cages, but most enthusiast grade cases, like the HAF have removable drive cages for added support.

Thanks.

You will need to remove one of the drive cages - i had 4 hdds + ssd set up so had to change this to a single ssd and get rid of the raid, keeping just the 2 slot cage
