I am looking at building a dual purpose HTPC and would like to use the SilverStone Grandia Series GD01B
I plan on running a SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 and want to verify that it will fit in the case
The computer will be used for:
So far what I have spec'd out for the main components is;
Processor:
Intel Core i7-3820 Sandy Bridge-E 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 2011 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80619i73820
Motherboard:
ASUS Rampage IV Gene LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
32 gig RAM
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9Q-32GBXL
(2) hard drives - Mirrored as I have a lot of software:
Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
The BD drive I was looking at;
LG Black 10X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal 12X Internal Blu-ray Drive 3D Playback & M-DISC Support Model UH12LS29 LightScribe Support - OEM
Thanks for any help, Eric

The computer will be used for:
- Daily home office work running three 27" monitors, mostly low power software, email, spreadsheets and MS-Word, but some CAD & Inventor and videos
- Hooked to a overhead HT projector, probably a Mits HC4000 by HDMI through a HT AVR amp located in the same equipment rack
