Looking for a gpu that will fit!

[lgrenter]

I have quite an old cooler master mystique case. I am thinking of upgrading my gpu from its current msi gtx670 to either a gtx 970 or 980. I am a bit unsure of the actual various card lengths as I am a bit tied by my case having a hard drive bay just over 27cm from the backplate. My current card fits with about a cm gap from this cage but I am unsure which of the newer cards would be ok for length. Can anyone give advice? I was looking at the msi gtx970 or the 980 but the980 cards seem to be longer in specs, anyone tell me what should be a good fit? Thnx

Either a mini ITX GTX 970, Gigabyte>> https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=gx-153-gi / asus >> https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=gx-356-as or if you have a bit more budget the upcoming fury nano >> http://www.pcworld.com/article/2949...ul-radeon-r9-nano-is-launching-in-august.html. Any of those would be a good shout if your limited for space and both good upgrade from a 670.

thanx for those options. not sure if i need to go so small as my case easily takes an msi gtx670 that measures (according to msi site) 267x117x38. i wanted to know if the msi 970 or 980 have similar size. am confused my measurements on overclockers as on msi site the 980 is listed as being 269x140x40, but here in its specs it is said to be 282x110x43!. msi also say that the 970 is 269x140x40. soooooo comparing to my existing gpu i think they would fit, but the differing sizes here now has me confused.

Although this Zotac doesn't give dimension, it looks quite stubby:

Zotac GeForce GTX 970 Gaming Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (ZT-90101-10P)

This EVGA lists dimensions so looks like it will fit:
Dimensions: 268.6 x 98.4 x 40 mm

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Classified ACX 2.0 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (04G-P4-3988-KR)

I only looked at a few but google the model numbers if you want a different card and see what comes up re the dimensions. When I bought my GTX 960 I found the dimensions on the gigabyte website.

*N.B I did also find overclockers descriptions to not be fully accurate so I would double check on the manufactures sites if you can. For example, it lists the GTX 960 I bought needing 1x 6pin power, but it actually needed a 6pin + 8pin.
