[jcloudahs]

Hi all I'm new here! I'm building my first computer in quite a while and am asking around, is the asus z77 compatible with the antec 300 case? Does it fit? Also on a side note, if someone could recommend me a nice cd/dvd burner, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks Much!

Yes, the Asus Z77 motherboards will fit into an Antec 300 case. They are both designed to the ATX standard.

Apart for the practically extinct (consumer-wise) Wide-ATX form factor, just about any other ATX board will fit in any ATX case.

Where things may get more complicated is clearances for extra-large tower HSFs, extra-long graphics cards and other miscellaneous details like those.

That said, the 300 is deep enough to gobble monstrosities like the 212+/EVO and has enough GPU slot clearance to fit almost anything on the market except maybe some dual-GPU cards.
