I was donated an emachine t3604. I would like to use the case and optical drive with this build.

Amd fx-8320e (95w)
MSI - 970a G43
Kingston 2x4gb 1866 ddr3 ram
XFX - Radeon R9 285 GPU
Seasonic 620W 80+bronze S12
That is what is already purchased and on the way.

I think the emachine is a mini atx and don't know if my components will fit.
Will the optical drive be able to be used? Will I have to just purchase a case for this?
