Hello, I was just wondering if the case I have picked out (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153) will be able to contain the gtx 680? Also, does anyone else own this case, and is it a good budget case? I have read many great reviews for it.
Will the gtx 680 fit in my computer case?

I would get a niceer case than that. You get a $500 gpu and $50 case? I would get one certified for long graphics cards. If the 680 is a long gpu, which I think it is.
This isn't exactly a terrible case. What would you recommend? I don't want to spend over $100 on one.
Alright cool, thanks!

That Rosewill is sorta cheap. I would get a nicer one, you can get a great one for $100, $50 is the cheaper zone, depending on the case. I would not reccomend that case.
Here are some suggestions:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197 $90 With MIR
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021 $100, I can personally reccomend this one, the Antec 900.

Honestly, whatever is available. At the moment I have a few (evga, asus, and galaxy) on auto notify, and whatever comes in stock first I will most likely pick up
Ok cool I will take a look at them. Which one would you pick if you were me?
Don't get the Antec 900! It's 5 years old, horribly out of style, and has no cable management features!byteninja2 said:
If you must get an Antec 900, get the 902 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129097&Tpk=antec 902 it's updated and has cable management features, of sort. Bit expensive then, there are better cases for less.
This is a good case for 60 bucks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&Tpk=haf 912 Cooler Master HAF 912. That's a good case and would fit your 680. You can even get it for 50 bucks after a rebate.
This is my favourite though, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139011&Tpk=carbid 300r Carbide 300R.

You say an antec 900 weigs a lot, have you ever picked up a steel super ATX Case?

I don't know, probobly the phantom, but it's personal preference. Don't get the 900, that are right, if you get one get a newer model. They are both nice, the coolermaster and NZXT, both around same quality, pick the one you like, and listen to what others have to say about the NZXT and coolermaster.

Why do people ignore the 302 and 1100 that came out recently? they have far nicer cable management than any of the choices that have been mentioned.

I second this. I just picked one up for my dad's build and its great. Maybe I wished it was black inside but overall it a great budget case.
And besides, in the Antecs, I hate how the hard drive bays are hard to get access to. In the cooler master, at least they have bay drives that you can easily pull out and sway drives.
The HAF 912 is cheaper than a 302 and I always liked the way the Cooler Master cases looked. The 1100 is 100 bucks as well. The 302 and 1100 do look like nice cases though.

Rosewill cases are not that bad, good budget case.
But if you're putting a 680 in, then it does seem odd. I second the 912.

either the 912 or the 302 would be your best choices probably. The 302 comes with dust filters and USB 3.0, and is the same price as the 912. Its pretty much personal preference between the two. If you consider Newegg's current $10 off deal, and the MIR the 912 would be the obvious choice.
