Hi there,
First, I will shamelessly admit that I am very new to computer building. I'm working on my first build right now. But on to my question:
I don't understand how case specs should be interpreted. I've purchased a Corsair Graphite Series 230T case ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139027 ), and it says that it has room for GPUs 320mm long. This sort of description seems pretty common to me: it fits GPUs ___mm long. How is that determined? Will it also depend on the size of my motherboard? Is this maximum GPU length measured at a certain part of the case?
The GPU I'd like to purchase, seen here on EVGA's website ( http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-2974-KR ), lists these specifications:
Height: 4.376in - 111.15mm
Length: 9.5in - 241.3mm
Width: Dual Slot
This is the motherboard I plan to purchase:

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
