I currently have an HTPC in an Antec Fusion Remote Black case and looking to add a discrete graphics card for some gaming at 1080p.
Case: Antec Fusion Remote Black
CPU: Intel i3 2105
Mobo: Asrock Z68 Pro3-M
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3-2000 4GB (2x2GB)
PSU: Seasonic S12II 430W
OS: Win 7 x64
Full parts currently in machine here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/J7W2bv
The case, however, is somewhat restricted in terms of length and particularly height. From measurements (also see photos), I should be able to fit a graphics card up to 22-23 cm (9 in.) in length, but only slightly higher, approx. 1.2-1.5 cm (0.5-0.6 in.), than the top of the slot bracket. I guess that probably (
) corresponds to a max. card height of approx. 11 cm (4.3 in.). So nothing that has cooling sticking much up above the bracket or that has the power connection on the top of the card.
Photos of case & available space
I was look at something around the HD 7870/R9 270/270X or the GTX 660/660 Ti/760 level of performance, though if that's overkill I'm happy to go lower.
Budget is around £150-160 (US$260-270), availability in the UK, as cool and quiet as possible given the above requirements.
Some possible options:
Sapphire Dual X Radeon R9 270X
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7850 Dual-X OC
MSI GTX 760 ITX (but power connector is on top)
Thanks.
