Will this motherboard fit my case?

[Mattymoo142]

Hello, so for christmas I decided to get a new motherboard, I am getting this:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-z97-gaming-3-intel-z97-s1150-ddr3-pcie-30-(x16)-2-way-crossfirex-displayport-hdmi-atx

and my case:

will this fit? and how can I determine if a motherboard fits in a pc, if this issue is to arise again.

Thanks,

Matt

The specs for the K280 case say it will support micro-ATX and full ATX motherboards. The MSI site says that motherboard is an ATX form factor motherboard. It will fit in that case.

How to tell??? Look at the specs for the case. It will list the form factor of motherboards supported. Look at the manufacturer's page for the motherboard. It will list the form factor.
