I underestimated the size of the two MSI GTX 560-TIs I wanted to put in an Antec 900 case. They're practically flush with each other, and the lower card is close to the PSU:



Am I right in thinking that's too close for proper cooling? If so, any recommendations for a larger case would be appreciated.
 
The spacing between graphics card is dependent upon the motherboard manufacturer and motherboard form factor and layout design. Some motherboard designs leave two slot widths of empty space between dual slot width graphics cards in a 2-way SLI setup.

As for the lower graphics card being close to the bottom mounted power supply that can be resolved by getting an EATX (extended ATX) or an HPTX form factor case or a case with a top mounted power supply.
