Current case too small. New case advice (£55 budget)

Evening all. This is my current case http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6528

This being a mid tower I thought it would have enough space for my new GFX card (xfx 5850) but the card only just fits! With the power cables from the card touching the chassis of the case, so this is not ideal at all.

In a year maybe I'll be upgrading my GFX card again to something like a 6950. Would that card fit in a mid size case? Perhaps a full tower is in order if I am thinking of larger cards like that?

My budget is flexible.

Thanks in advance

Coolermaster HAF 912. It has a removeable HDD module. Never have to worry about the length of your GFX card again.

Unless you use a lot of HDD's of course

The Elite series of cases are narrower than a lot of other mid tower cases. So something like the HAF 912 will have a massive amount of interior space compared to the Elite 310.

The HAF 912 looks ideal, only ever use 1 hard drive so that wont be a problem. Get one ordered me thinks
