Like posted above, we don't have a budget to work with. I've chosen a case that does well between the 80-130 dollars price range.

If you find a case you like, at least the manufacturer should have specs on their webpages for how big gfx cards fit in there but the cheaper you go, the less likely to fit a big card.

I have the Antec and a 31 centimetre gfx card, fits very well in there.

Than the one I listed is one of your better options. I personally haven't seen any cons on that case, It's great.

99 is below 100 here

And the phanteks Pro is the case to get. There is no better case for this money.

The Pro is also very good for air cooling and why a full Tower you ask.....Because of your very long GPU and this way you have room for the future for upgrades and stuff

And the Pro is not that big (my opinion)

The pro is sort of in between a full tower and mid tower. It's not strictly for watercooling even though it has options that support a wide variety of water cooling. It's pretty versatile, almost every fan location accepts multiple sizes. The rear takes 140mm or 120mm fans, the front accepts the stock 200mm, 140mm's, 120mm's, the same for the top. Many of the fan mounts use slots as opposed to holes so the various fans can be moved in case they conflict with anything. It's not the only case in the price range but does offer a lot of nice features for the price.
