So confused, spec me a GFX

[Danfoss2011]

Am running the following

Zotac Z68 ITX
2 OCZ Agilty 3 60GB SSD's
i7 2600K with an OC to 4.5

It's all powered by a Seasonic X-460FL (460w).

Then the case is a Lian Li Q11B. I can fit a GFX card length of 260MM.

Wanting a nice decent card but nothing super super to take strain off my CPU's HD3000.

Have no idea what to go for.

Idealy something i can get a full cover block for (ek block idealy)

HELP please

XFX 6870 that's on deal ATM

Google EK coolingconfigurator to check if there's a full cover block available for it.

And if you have a budget in mind, it would really help

Im in the trade so budget doesn't matter as what ever retail is i'll get it for lots lots less !!

Card needs to be 260mm to fit!

Edit, looking at XFX's site seams it might just fit!

Dimensions (Imperial): N/A 10.3 x 4.4 x 1.5
Dimensions (Metric): N/A 26.2 x 11.12 x 3.81

Problem is your PSU
not the most capable for the higher end cards.

Erm...Seasonic is the best brand around, don't think 460W would have any problem running a system with a single graphic card that use no more than two PCI-E 6-pin, even with the overclocked i7 2600K.

Got a good review here as well:

But to be honest, I'm not sure why the OP would wish to not use the HD3000, if he is not gaming...

The case i hope arrives on Thursday if the supplier pulls there fingers out!

Everything online is saying 260mm.

I can move the power plugs no problem, bit of soldering is easy!

I was talking about high end in that 8 pin and 6 pin cards which o was a bit wary of speccing with a 460w. Even if it is by the best brand ever

i really wouldn't. Voids your warranty. It's probably best to get the case first to make sure it fits. A GTX 570 might just fit

I never had anything refused warranty. I always get it replaced. I'd make up 2 new conections with them being vertical if there on the end

And what high-end card that uses 6pin+8pin that is shorter than 260mm in length?

GTX570/6950 are 267mm, and higher card ain't gonna get any shorter neither.

I think the Sapphire 5850 Extreme is probably your best option, considering it's only 215mm in length:
