Need a smaller card than a GTX 560 with comparable power for small case

[Kajigger]

Hello,

I'm looking to go for a smaller case than the Thermaltake that I currently have. Taking up way too much space in my dorm room. I'm looking at something like this SILVERSTONE case: http://

If you know of anything like it that's $100 or less I would greatly appreciate it!

But anyway what I'm asking is if there are any smaller cards preferably about 3.5" tall that are comparable to a GTX 560 (Non-Ti). I don't game much but when I do it would be things like TOR and EVE, so pretty moderate.

Thanks in advance!

I assume the $100 budget is for a new case. If it is for the card this will be way to much, but it is designed with the small form factor in mind.

$100 for a case or gpu? This gtx 750 will out perform your 560 for $150 http://

Oh, yes it is the budget for just the case, but as far as the card, $360 is way more than I'm wiling to spend. I'd spend maybe $150 for the card if that's possible. I just need something that can compare to the 560.

I just built a media PC using that exact case. The only card option I found that included the HTPC bracket was the Gigabyte GTX 750 TI

Newegg link to the card

It is $150, but again its pretty much the only "performance" card that I found that will fit that case.

Also as an FYI, I found very limited CPU cooler options that would clear / fit in that case. Especially if using tall RAM. I ended up going with the SilverStone AR06. Might save you some time trying to figure out what will fit.

The 750 looks like the best choice then. Do you know the dimensions of the case? I want to know if this would fit: http://

They're on eBay for about $90, so that's pretty good!

Dimensions of the Silverstone case you linked to are on the specification page on Newegg, it was larger then I expected, roughly the size of a VCR? If anyone remember how larger VCRs were.

You need to pay attention to which cards you are looking at, the amazon link you posted will not fit. You need a card that is half height, and includes the low profile bracket. Look at the images in the newegg link I posted, you'll notice the smaller bracket the gigabyte card includes. Standard cards of any sort will not fit in that Silverstone case you linked to.

Ah, so it would seem that is the best choice. Thanks!

Kinda posted the same gpu in the second post but that's cool I guess?
