I sold my 560ti and need a new card. I play at 1920x1080 and I play various of games such as Batman/BF3/Hitman/COD..so on.

I was thinking the Evga 670 FTW because I know it will fit. I was also considering a Saphire 7970 but I never had an AMD card before. The price of the 670 was $399 but it went up since this week.

But I found the Gigabyte OC 670 three fans for $399 on newegg. I think this would fit too. Just unsure about what would be better and last me longer.

How much room did you have before hitting the harddrive chasis with your 560ti? Nvidia reference cards run around 10.5 give or take AMD 10.75 give or take. (I'm refering to the ones you'd likely want to step up to) Cards with aftermarket coolers are a different ballgame.

I measured the Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce 3x because a friend of mine got it. If I remember correctly it was 27.5 Centimeters. And not 28.5cm as stated by Gigabyte.

It would not fit in my CM Storm Scout. However, ASUS GTX 670 DC II did fit. Those I measured to 27cm. ASUS states they are 27.2CM. CM states my CM Storm Scout can take 27cm as an absolute max. However, it took a couple of millimeters extra. I gambled when ordering my two ASUS GTX 670 DC II. They will just fit in my case.

Searching google It seems one person was able to fit a 11 inches card in the Rosewell Challenger. that equals to about 28 Centimeters.

My MSI model 560Ti was a Twin Frozr II edition. I had roughly maybe 1 +/- .5 inches before hitting the bays. The power cables went under the card so maybe that caused some space being taken up too.

Someone on here fit a Gigabyte OC 670, the three fan model in their challenger. Someone on overclock.net said that they also fit the Saphire (one fan) 7970 in the Challenger.

So its kinda weird. I was just going for the Evga 670 FTW edition but that is no longer $399 and I know that would fit since the gigabyte model fit..but Ive been considering the 7970 too.
