    Case and Video Card help

    I am very much a computer noob, but I am attempting to build a PC to handle FFXIV and beyond. I have decided on most of the components, but I need a little help. I was planning on getting this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129021
    I was also planning on getting a gtx 480 as my GPU. Somewhere I must have read or heard that card doesn't fit into mid towers. Is that true? If so, I will go need to go full tower, so any suggestions on a good but not ridiculously expensive tower would be awesome, thanks again.

    all mid-towers aren't created equal. perhaps the antec 900 is large enough to fit. check google for the measurements of a gtx 480, then check antec's website for the manual on the antec 900. it should tell you the maximum length video card that it can hold. however, most cases can be modded by removing hard drive bays or moving things around, so it might fit regardless of what antec says.
