MSI 970 Gaming in MicroATX Mid Tower Case

[jarod.sjogren]

Okay if I have the MSI 970 Gaming motherboard and the GeForce GTX 970 Graphics Card, will I be able to fit everything in a MicroATX Mid Tower Case?

I've seen a few articles saying it will fit but I wanted to get an outside opinion.

[edit] I've just found the specs for the case and it says it won't support ATX. So unless someone knows differently I'm going to assume the answer is no.

You're right. An ATX size board will not fit a mATX case, nor would there be enough standoffs available anyway. If you're looking for a new AM3+ mATX board, there are no good ones. The ASRock 970M PRO3 was the only one I can remember that was suitable... if you can find one.
