I'm looking to upgrade my Radeon 5850 to something in the R9 270X or GTX 760 range, ideal cost around $200 but flexible for good value or longevity, used for 1080p gaming. Unfortunately, my Silverstone SG02 only supports cards up to 9.6" in length.

Are the length specs listed on Newegg exact, or is there a better resource? Some cards don't list their dimensions at all!

Anyone have suggestions for a good card under 9.6"? Should I just play it safe and get the ITX version?

Here's the rest of my specs:
i7-860 2.8GHz Quad-core
Radeon HD 5850 1GB
8GB DDR3-1333MHz RAM
750W Silverstone ST75F-P

I couldn't find any R9 270X cards for you on Amazon that are under 9.6". In fact, most of them are 10.2" or larger, up to 12".

But I did find this one that's on sale for $100 off (went from $300 --> $199) from MSI.
