Will this graphics card fit?

[crimson-pc12]

I am going to build a PC and am going to get a Gigabyte Radeon R9 card and want to know if the 11.5 inch card will fit in the NZXT Guardian 912 or NZXT Apollo cases. Thanks!

Yes, but you'll probably have to take the RAID 3.5" drive bays out first, they're in the way. I'd bet real money that they come out.

The Apollo will not fit it without removing the HDD bay, which is attached with rivets. Not an easy removal.

The Guardian 921 will fit, but it is tight.

Does the removal of the HDD bay affect the computer at all? I'm new to PC building.

Only if you're installing a RAID array, which I would bet you are not.

However, if, like itzanielp said, the HDD bay is riveted in on the Apollo, you might tear the case up getting it out. I would recommend the Guardian 921.
