Is there an AMD option?

So I was planning on a Gigabyte ITX 970 but reading the ram thread I am now in 2 minds. I could get a 960 to pass me till end of the year, I really want to play GTA5 at 1080p and my 460 768MB is not likely to work well.
I currently have a SG05 with 450W psu. My Current card the PCB is 200mm long and fits and the cooler sticks out from the PCB so fits next to my H80i cooler and is 245mm long.

Is there an AMD option that would fit? They all seems to be long and power hungry.

Does anyone know what the MSI Special gift is with the 970 and 960?

At 1080p, and despite the miss-selling, I'd still get a 970 that fits your case. The recommended minimum for a 970 is 450W though... (is yours a good quality one?).

I reckon you could have issues with 450W and a 970, might be looking at upgrading the PSU too.

If its a Quality PSU,i think you would be fine with a 970 with an I5/I7 in an ITX build
