About the "CoolerMaster HAF X nVidia Edition" Case

[andysgotquestions]

Ok so im planning on getting the CoolerMaster HAF X nVidia Edition pc case... I have a Z77A-G41 motherboard.... The form factor of the motherboard is ATX and the case (m/b type) is M-ATX, E-ATX, ATX and GIGABYTE Large ATX.... As far as my basic research has taken me is that my motherboard will fit this case. Am i right,...

One thing about the case and to do with the power supply is that it says Standard ATX PS2 isn't included... Does this simply mean it doesn't come with a power supply and i have to install one.... And if so, can i still install a Atx power supply.....

Dont buy this case, there are better ones for that price.
Psu isnt included,
Buy a psu from seasonic/xfx/corsair.

no. just no. the only reason you would get a hafx is to do watercooling or fit a ratherly large xl-atx x79 board. fitting such a cheap board (the z77-g41 is the lowest end z77 board you can get) is not going to look good. at that rate, your system is bottlenecking the case. therefore do not get such a large case for something so small. spend the money on your video card or motherboard

the g41 is not full size atx. its missing 3 standoffs on the right hand side making it atx in length but not in width. it should still fit though

it just means that there is no psu included (which is a good thing since coolermaster psus are junk). id get a psu from corsair, seasonic, or antec. and if you are getting corsair, get at least a tx series unit

Looking at bigger cases because im using it for future upgrades. Eventually getting rid of this motherboard for something better.... Sometime down the track i see myself needing a bigger case..

In your opinion what cases (which are large) will support ATX and are useful for gaming and good for the 1155 to 2011 swap...
