Compatible Case for new build

Hi, I've recent bought the following bundle https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8pac...locked-quad-core-gaming-bundle-bu-050-as.html and unfortunately it wont fit into my current case (width due to the fan). Would anyone know a decent case that would house that set up.

Thanks in advance

Well, any ATX case that can take 165mm tall coolers.

Another option might be to change out the 140mm fan for a 120mm fan, if you think that might do it. Do you have a 120mm fan to test?

Cheers Danny, I thought so but it currently measures 185mm but the water cooler just blocks the closing of the door. I guess I need something over 200mm width.
Thanks again for replying

How much do you want to spend on a case ?

Under £80 I'd say but so long as it fits the system and the water cooling Im happy. Would prefer USB3 ports on front, other than that pretty easy, just surprised that it didnt fit
