ITX mobo but 300mm gpu! what case?

[phatravioli]

I have a gtx 970 which is approx 300mm long and the gigabyte b1550n pheonix mobo. However all the ITX cases are very small. Is there a way an itx could fit in an m-atx or a itx case that fits full size gpus? cheers

there are micro-atx and I believe some mid tower cases that support the ITX format. I will do a little searching and come up with a few options, feel free to look for yourself in mean time.

Just to list a few but there are many options for what you need. This was a 7 minute search

There are itx cases that fit full sized gpus and are very small. The node 202 fits up to 310mm. Rvz01 and 2 fits up to 330mm and is similar size. You do tend to find cube or itx towers to be cheaper though as well as fitting full size atx psus. Fractal Design Core 500, Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Mini iTX, Cooler Master Elite 130, Cougar Case QBX, just to name a few other itx cases that all fit more than 300mm.

There's many more to choose from without having to go with a larger matx case. I see no point in paying extra for itx and not even take advantage of it.
