Hi! Tomorrow, I will be buying a case for my components, but I want to know, how do I find out, which case fits my components, I will be buying the gtx 1070, but I still don't know what brand, it depends on which one I see cheaper(luck) on ebay auctions, but let's pretend I'll be getting the gtx 1070 asus strix, since is the largest one I think. My components are:

Gtx 1070 asus strix
PSU 600w 80 plus white
Asus z170-a
cryorig h7 tower
Team Dark 16gb ram 2x8

Will those components fit in this mid tower?

You look at the specs for that tower and then compare those to your...

motherboard size, you need to make sure the case can fit it

i.e m-atx, atx, xl-atx, etc etc

then you also need to make sure the case can fit the gpu = max length, slots it takes up

cpu cooler height, to make sure the cpu cooler fits

and finally if the case takes a standard sized power supply



that case takes standard psu, check

VGA card length up to 380mm, the strix is 298 mm so yes it will fit

Asus z170-a is standard atx, so yes that case Supports ATX, Micro ATX, and ITX

the cryorig h7 is 145mm tall, that case can handle max CPU cooler height up to 161mm


Looks good

Well it has to be an ATX case to fit your mobo. Most case spec sheets will list max graphic card length and max cpu cooler height, so just make sure before you buy. I would say the vast majority of ATX mid and full tower cases will fit your build with the H7 cooler and asus strix 1070.
 
From case description:
"Additional Features:

VGA card length up to 380mm
CPU cooler height up to 161mm"

H7 specs: "Dimension ( with fan ) L98 mm x W123 mm x H145 mm "
ROG STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING specs: "29.8 x 13.4 x4 cm"

So I say all fits easily.

Ebay and https://vivo-us.com/products/copy-of-case-v00-br-br-span-style-font-weight-normal-vivo-atx-mini-tower-computer-gaming-pc-case-black-3-fan-mounts-usb-3-0-port-span-1 says

VGA card length up to 380mm

CPU cooler height up to 161mm

As long as the card and cooler are under those spec limits you're good to go.

H145mm

which means the Cryorig will easily fit.

11.73(297.942mm)

which means the card will also fit.

Those components will all fit in the CASE-V07 mid tower with plenty of room left to work.
