best to measure it and get exact measurements and then take your pick mate, too many too choose for ya to be honest, specially with not knowing all the sizes and price your willing to pay etc, just have a look and then google the reviews on the case your interested in and that way you'll find out if its any good or not mate.

Hi i got an overclockers bundle, not by it at mo so might guess mobo wrong but
i5 3750k @4.4
msi z77a-g43
2 by 4gb sticks of ddr3 1600
zero infinity free flow cooler
just ordering PSU and probably a 7850GFX, think i've decided against the bluray drive and case should shut if i remove the lock assembly. (although will probably upgrade this at some stage)
 
well XFX 750w modular PSU and an DVD RW SATA drive arrived and fitted, case modified to allow side panel on (removed fan and lock), just need to tidy man cave :o and sort out a GPU, thinking 7850 or 7950 price dependent :)

Thanks to all for the help

An overclocked 2gb 7850 or 7870 will future proof the build for a few years, these come close to speads (if overclocked) of the 7950 and go for around 150-200 depending on which one you get.

XFX 750watt? That's a hella lot juice lol, but you will be future proof with that as well which is good :D

2gb 7850, extremely popular and got one myself
