The gtx 560 is 240mm long or 24cm and about 9.44inches. The Coolermaster Elite 430 can hold a gpu up to the length of: 12 inches + .... "Press control F" and type in length and you will see the sentence about the length! for a small case, an amazing length. Also, MSI make good quality products so well picked!
It'll go in as it's a full ATX case. That said I would get a case with decent cooling and shell out a bit of cash on it.
Also when buying a case, make sure if your buying a case/psu combo, make sure the power supply is good enough as sometimes they give you cheap, tacky ones that will probably **** up your system!
Good point indeed, I looked over that case again, the PSU is not certed in any way its got 70% efficiency and I've seen many posts on here about cheap PSU's blowing up destorying hardware in the process. I used this site http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp to calculate what PSU I would need, is this a reliable source? So I'll shop around some more for now and tweek the order, if any one knows of some awesome case/PSU bundles or some good cases and PSU's to look at please let me know. Again I am on a budget and I won't go over the £800 mark.
