I am about to order my parts for my first build. My only question is what cases will support my graphics card.The caseI am looking seems to work fine if I remove the top drive bay.

My questions are:
-What are some good cases that are compatible with this card. (If I have to move something around inside that is fine, as long as it won't make a huge difference.)
-How important are the bays that I would have to remove in this case?
-I would like to spend no more that $150 on a case. If I can save money that's great.
-I would like to have a nice window on the side.

Thanks for all help. I am open to all suggestions!

The 390x is a long card. For almost all mid ATX cases, this will require removal of the top hdd bays. This is normal and won't affect anything other than improving airflow as cases with removable bays have 2 sections, holding 7-9 hdds between them. The only way around this is with the use of a full tower (they stand about 3 feet tall or better) or you may get lucky and find a mid ATX that's long enough to fit your gpu without removal. Chances of this are extremely slim and probably not be a case you'd consider buying otherwise. (Some cases are just downright ugly or severely crappy quality). The ability to remove the hdd cages is usually only an option on better cases and is a design specific to gpu needs. Very few ppl have a need for 9...

Thank you! So does this Mastercase look like it should work?
