GPU upgrade in a Corsair 250D

Hi all,

I'm currently running a GTX970 in my Obsidian 250D. The card according to MSI's website is 277mm long.

Does anyone have any experience or success fitting a 1070 into this case?

Cheers
David

Thanks for your reply. That would be far too big. I need to have a good measure when I get home but I think I only have 20mm max to play with before the card hits the front of the case.

Thank you for that - that's helpful. The MSI 1070 8g Gaming comes in at 279mm so I may try and pick one of those up.

If only I had access to the MM!

Have been doing a bit of reading and looking at an R590 or perhaps a 1660?

Would I be better off with an RX950 or a 1070? I'm looking at progressing to 1440p when I upgrade my TV. I don't play the latest games. Mainly Destiny 2 at the moment.
