Hey all!

I've recently been making a build (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/harriewheatley/saved/3VhYcf) and made the selection of an NZXT S340 as my case due to the space it provides for the video card. However, upon further inspection I discovered that it doesn't have a DVD drive bay, which is a major problem for me.

Can anyone recommend a good, yet cheap case that can fit a card this size or will I have to settle with the NZXT?

Thanks!

Try this. Just a little more expensive, but worth the trade up. This card is slightly shorter, but is more powerful and fits the red/black theme. Also, getting a fully modular PSU is pretty pointless when you are going to be using most of the cables anyways, so a semi is much cheaper. I only would recommend going full modular for compact builds or builds without GPUs.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£23.38 @ CCL Computers)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£99.56 @ Scan.co.uk)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133...

*Edit* If you still want a different case, this card is only ~260mm so a case that supports 270mm would be fine.
