PLEASE HELP!!! IM A NEWB

[dylanpc]

Okay guys, I bought an Antec Nine Hundred Two case, and I bought a Sapphire 2g Dirt 3 Radeon 6950 for my new build, and my card hasn't come yet, but it seriously looks like the card won't fit in the case and this is freaking me out right now because I don't want to drive like an hour back to the store I bought my case and get hassled about returning it. I just want to know if it will fit. Be honest I will do what I have to do to get this card to fit I would rather hassle the store than get a card that doesn't fit in my case. Thanks.

it will fit the card man.

Ok that's good, and will I be able to crossfire with it in the future since my mobo supports crossfire? Like is the case large enough for that? and also I will be able to fit my Hard Drive and SSD in the case with the video card right? Thanks. Sorry I am new to this haha.

yes, yes, and most likely yes. you could probably fit all that stuff in an antec 300.

its not the issue about how big the case is, rather how well your case can manage venting all that heat inside your case. usually people end up having to buy a new case altogether after they get a card for sli/corssifre.

my advice would be to get a bigger case: corsair Carbide 500R costs you more but will keep you happy with the space inside it.

if you have budget for replacing the case...can we have a lil info?

The antec 900 has good ventilation. It is slightly smaller than the carbide 500r (in length). I would have gone with the haf 922, for 89.99, its larger than both the antec and the 500r. All three of these cases have the same amount of fans and same fan size just there fan locations differ slightly.

+1 to bigger cases, they are much easier to work in. However, the 500r, the antec 900, and the haf 922, are all close to being the same size, and they are all mid tower cases.
