What kind of case do i need?!!

[Speedwack]

So i got my MSI GTX 1070, and I didin't realize how big it was going to be. I also have a Gigabyte mobo, and I need recommendations on what case will fit this mobo and card. PLEASE HELP!

A mid tower.

But mini ITX or micro ATX case are almost always accomodating big cards anyway.

As for suggestions, you can get a Fractal R5 like everyone and their grandmother.

If you're looking online for a case, most of the product overviews or specifications will state how long of an expansion card will fit. Find out the 1070s dimensions then compare. Most mid and full tower cases should accommodate for modern graphics cards though.

What is your budget for a computer case?

What mobo exactly? Full atx or micro?

Ive always like this case from Corsair. It may not be your style, I'm not sure. It's pretty simple/ clean looking.

Do you know what model Gigabyte motherboard you have? But that case fits any Micro ATX / ATX / Mini-ITX mobo, so I am sure it will be fine.

Listen I just want the card in my PC dude. It sucks that I wasn't able to put it in today. Btw I did see that case. I might just get the Spec 2

Personally I recommend the corsair Spec alpha, not too much more than the spec 02. Had the spec 02 before and it was a decent case but the alpha has more features like built-in fan controller that can support up to 4 fans I believe and looks better IMO.

List the Motherboard and Power Supply brands/models u have if you want help with good case selections; otherwise we can't help, as we need to know these to know what Case could accommodate your Motherboard for example.

Corsair Spec Alpha is a great choice under $100; allows for good cooling/airflow
Fan controllers are also always a plus.
If you need Optical Drive, just use USB one or temp hookup a SATA one.
