Hello. I just bought my new pc parts: Asus Sabertooth Z79 Mark 2, Gigabyte Gtx 980, 8gb ram, I7 4790K and XFX 750 W Bronze. But i dont have money for new case. I am using very old case Cooler Master Centurion 590 from 2008 year. So now my question. Can i use that case or should i buy necessary new case? Thx for replies and help. I am waiting for answers.

    Last question. My case will fit reference Gigabyte 980? Somebody told me, that will not fit:
    L=282mm ( card )

    285.5 is max.

    Yeah, it will be a snug fit. The case is mainly aesthetics unless you need something that can house a lot of hard drives and radiators for water cooling.
