So the case officially fits a 10" gpu, but my tape measures roughly 10 1/2".
I ALREADY have the case and psu.

My questions:
1) Will the 280 have enough power?
2) Do I have a chance of squeezing in that gpu?

Advice please?

280 will have enough power.

You might be better off going with a shorter 760 that you know will fit.

 

[deano-5]

Is a 760 as good?

 

[tbyeah]

I would say it's on par, maybe ever so slightly less powerful.

More expensive but better memory bus

And just as long as the card that's probably too long...

The Mini versions are perfectly decent. I'll be squeezing my 254mm long GTX 670 into the SG05 when I get round to buying the SFX PSU. Will be tight.

I think its slightly shorter. Like .100 of an inch

Exactly. And it's £30 more expensive... just wat. Might as well suggest he get a Titan-Z.

Is a 770 better than a 280?
