    Would it fit?

    Would a GTX 780 fit into this case?

    If it would how much of a squeeze would it be?
    I'm not totally sure it would fit, but I really like this case :/

    Apparently the reference 780 board measures 10.5" or 26.7cm and most cases should take 30-32 cm cards Max so I would say, you are safe. GTX 780 in such a case?

    Re: Would it fit?

    I was sceptical but if this is correct, I'm a very happy man
    My friend has this case, and has said its very good, and very cheap for what you get, but had a smaller card in it and claimed it was quite a tight fit.
    Thankyou sir

    Can't you check the length of his card and the space left between the card and the case and then compare the results to your future card in reference?

    Don't forget to take into account the cabling as well. If its already a tight fit that may push it over the edge

    Some cards have the power connectors from the side while other from the back. Without the exact card model it is difficult to make a call.

    I think the power connectors are on the side.
