Cases to fit a GTX 780 TI Classified

[TekkersHobo]

I received my 780TI yesterday, but I'm having problems fitting it.
I had to move my SSD to the lowest bay in the tower even for the card to fit into the case.
However, the power connectors are so far along the card that they actually go under the HDD bay about 1/2 an inch to an inch.
It's not a removable bay.
I tried cutting a square in the bay so I could plug the connectors in, but the metal is far too thick.
Even If that worked, I think the case side panel may be in the way for the cable to connect and the side be closed.
Is there any suggestions I can perhaps try to remedy this, or links to cases that will definitely fit this card? It's not just the length that's the problem, it's that it is almost 6" wide too.
Thank you.

Just copy the title of this thread into google, and you will find more cases. These were a few that I found.

Thank you for that.
The Corsair cases and the Fractal Design ones look like they will all fit the card, and at a reasonable price.
However, they all only seem to have 2x USB ports?
I'm ideally looking to spend as little as possible, as I have just spent 700 on the card and a new PSU. Would the Corsair 300R be sufficient enough do you think?

I just realised that those cases will fit a 780, not a 780 ti... Aren't they the same size, though? If so, everything will fit.

780: (LxH) 10.5x4.376"
780TI: (LxH) 11x5.94"
Considerably wider, which I'm thinking may be the problem
The card is 151mm wide, most of those cases are 200+, but I'm not sure if that is internal dimensions or external, it doesn't say.

I've got 780 Classifieds which are the same size as your card and I can tell you if the case doesn't have a 140mm fan as the traditional exhaust fan next to all the rear IO then it won't be wide enough to get the power plugs in. My case is about as narrow as possible while still having a 140mm fan and they just fit right. On the length you want about 2"/45mm beyond the end of the motherboard mounts/screws. Plus the room for your cables to go around or under the end of the card.

Hopefully these pictures help you visualize what I mean.

You can tell a 330R will be really tight on the width but you might just be able to bend your power connectors in, not exactly comfortable it looks about 130mm wide from the edge of the IO cutout.

What is everyones opinion on the Cooler Master Storm Trooper? It's a huge case I know, but I think it looks awesome, and would be plenty big enough, and looks like a very good build quality.

My current case is the Vantage Angel, 120mm rear exhaust fan.
It came as part of a package, I bought it for the internals.

I have been recommended the Corsair Obsidian 750D. Looks plenty big enough, anyone else rate this tower?

the storm trooper is an awesome case i can also reccomend some bitfenix cases that will fit your needs i.e ronin,shinobi x, colossus its personal taste though i think you have chosen well with the storm trooper i cant fault it great case and tom even used one for ORCA!

750d is amazing case too i would also look at the corsair 540 as another option

Because there was so much wrong with it for me to mod right.......

To the OP - the site is full with reviews of cases dude - plenty for you to read or watch to do your home work. Remember buy a case because you like it not because someone told you thats what to get (unless you dont care)
