I bought, unfortunately, the C70 Corsair computer case.

I've built a few computers, but I'm used to (I guess) buying REGULAR size cases. I haven't had to deal with one that's sporting a sizing issue with parts.

I have old parts, and generally built Hand-me-down computers for my family since I'm a gamer and they use their builds for work/school.
Great deal for them. Who gets free 8800 SLI's? They do.

Not with this case. Nothing fits. Reviewing websites just say "Standard or Micro ATX"

I know I might be stupid, but I can't figure this crap out before getting frustrated and quitting.

Can you fine gentlemen/gentleladies recommend me a good 700-800 watt power supply and motherboard?

Hell, if anyone is feeling extremely bored and generous, build me a list of what to get that fits in this case.
Please note, this isn't a gaming rig.
Err on the side of caution.
Budget Vs. Rating.

I appreciate any and all help that any and all can give. Is it just me, or does newegg rarely list sizes and dimensions? Again, I could be stupid.


To clarify:
I have a spare 970 vidya card I'll throw in because... Well, it's free.

My confusion comes from having three extra PSU's and none of them fit. If memory serves, an old mobo I have wouldn't fit either.

So, there-in lies the problem.
Also, got it on sale for $65-$70 at Fry's a few months back.

Cool, I "get it" now. You really don't need that big of a PSU, the GTX 970 only needs a 500 watt PSU, and even the the GTX 1070/ 1080 will work with a 550 watt should you ever decide to upgrade. Just disregard anything here you have/don't need.
