Ok so I decided to go ahead and upgrade my GPU in preparation for buying a newer monitor, likely a 2560x1440 somewhere around 26", maybe up to 30". I will be removing my MSI GTX 760 OC TwinFrozr 2Gb and instead installing a MSI GTX 770 OC TwinFrozr 4Gb. This is mated up to a i7-3770k @ 4.2Ghz through a MSI Z77A-GD55 with 8Gb of 1600 G. Skill RAM. I also have a 120Gb SanDisk SSD and 1Tb RAID 1 for storage all powered by a Corsair TX750. Currently the case I have is a Corsair 200R. Right now I have very little room inside the case however I have never had any trouble with temperatures (CPU=~30 idle, ~42 load, GPU+~30idle, ~55 load.) MY question is for those who know how much larger is the 770 than the 760? I previously jumped from a i3-2120 and GTX 650 Ti BOOST and the GPU was MUCH larger and, took me by surprise actually, due to my limited component experience. Online these cards are showing the same dimensions however the weight is not specified. The cards look practically identical and if so this will fit but if it is much larger than the current 760 I am going to start having space issues. Thanks for all the help and responses.

You shouldn't have to worry about the weight of the cards. Yes, the 770 will fit. If the 200R has removable hard drive cages you could take out the top hard drive cage for better airflow and more room to accommodate longer graphics cards.
