Around you're budget I'd suggest to get the 7970 price is within range and would eat 7870 slightly :lol: though power color would be the brand that you may buy with that price.

And yes it will fit if you can do what they did here in this website - http://tech2.in.com/reviews/pc-cabinets/cooler-master-elite-311-pc-case/246652 they removed the hdd rack. If you're not using it, I suggest do the same.
