Ive decided to go with the XFX GTS 250 512MB for £99. Just wanted to ask is this the 9" version with the single pci-e 6 pin?

and more importantly is it a full cover card that blows warm air out of the rear? Is going into my shuttle which will be arriving this morning!! and need a card that wont just push hot air back into the case.

If not can you reccomend a suitable 9" gts 250, preferbly one that will be pulling warm air out of the case throw the rear vent holes, thanks

edit - i game at 1920 x 1200 so if there is any other card up to scratch on a budget with the above length, power efficeint, full cover & sucking air out of rear will consider. Dont mind ati or nvidia and hopefully should order today. thanks

....not only is that much more expensive than the other card linked, it also has a single slot cooler. Try and read the thread before posting please :)

If it will fit inside your case and you can stretch to it I would personally go for the OCUK GTX260 for gaming at 1920x1200. At this resolution it would be noticably faster than the HD4850/GTS250 whilst not costing too much more (its £135.99 inc VAT). The GTX275 at £40 more isn't worth it imo. Its faster yes but not by a massive amount.
 
Sooo many cards its pain in the ass choosing. Still waiting on delivery for shuttle, shud be here before 3pm. sx58h7 can fit a gtx 295 from what ive gathered but i dont need that much power. Right now im stuck between gtx 260, gtx 275, second hand gtx 280 or gtx 285. Ive got my old striker 2 extreme 790i and ram and someones offered me a straight swap for a gtz 280 which im considering.
 
Ok have recieved shuttle, man is it cool, will get pics upoaded tommorrow. Now its between 3 cards, which solution do you thinks best of the 3

Gtx 275 (xfx) £199
Gtx 280 (gainward) Trade fo my 790i & 4g ram (is i sold seperatly max would be £170)
Gtx 285 (asus) £249

Agian whch one would be best for gaming at 1900x1200 eqaulled with power & effiency
