Size of Graphics Card?

[Rodbrollin]

Hey guys, I was wondering if the Gigabyte R9 270x would fit in this case: http://www.microcenter.com/product/378074/Classic_Series_Source_210_Mid_Tower_ATX_Computer_Case

I realize that the Gigabyte version of the 270x is bigger than for instance an MSI 270x. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Maximum Supported Card Length 330mm

^^From the site you linked.

Card size L=297mm W=132mm H=43mm

So yes, it'll fit.

Thanks man, I knew that the case supported 330mm cards, but I didn't know the size of the gigabyte r9 270x.

Happy to help, but you'll have to remove the HDD cages from the front though:

VGA Clearance Maximum 230mm w/ hard drive, 330mm w/o hard drive

According to the specs, the case can support 330mm cards, and the Gigabyte R9 270X is 11.3 inches or about 287mm, so you should be good.

Usually, you can just move the hard drive/hard drive cage out of the way if it's tight.

The MSI version is a little smaller (10.2 inches), and comes with $100 in free games from NewEgg right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127761

Oh yea.. You know I had my mind set on the Gigabyte version and didn't even think about getting the MSI version. I may get that instead. Will I have to remove the HDD Cage for the MSI card or no?

You'll have to remove it, the Source 210 only takes really short (230mm) cards with the HDD cage attached.

Hmm.. alright, since I am new to building PCs.. will removing the cage have any bad effects for me in the future? or what does it specifically do?

You can mount less hard drives without the cage, maybe you'll have to attach your hard drives to a different place in the case. It varies by case.

Ok.. but I will be able to mount at least 1 or 2 HDDs right? or will I not be able to put any?

You'll be able to mount a few, not exactly sure how many as I have not handled that case myself.

Alright that's fine then because I only will need 1 Hard Drive for now so I shouldn't be in any trouble. Maybe 2 in the future, but I guess I will deal with that later. Thank you for the help.

If you get a 2nd drive, it should be an SSD anyway, which you can duct-tape to the top for all it matters. 😉
