I went with the spec recommended and am now in pre-production :)

My question though. I am considering changing the case on my order. Is the bitfenix prodigy a good case for gaming especially since I'm going for the gtx 780, or would a different case be more suitable for my needs?

My friend has the Bitfenix Prodigy M, which is slightly larger, he has the gigabyte windforce 770 and it just about fits in, so as long as the card is around 11 inches or less it should fit.

I believe it had space for 4 fans and was of good quality.

Hopefully it should fit since the configurator didn't find any problems with it. I guess PCS will let me know if there is any issue and I'll change it.

In case anyone else is thinking of a similar setup, the GTX 780 does NOT fit in the Bitfenix Prodigy, although the configurator lets it through.
