You will see heat issues. I had 2x 7970 in a mid case on a standard ATX board and saw them feeding heat into each other. I ended up getting a full tower with a 230mm GPU duct (HAF X) just to be able to run them decently, which I did and it worked fine after that. But I ended up sending them back due to the fact that crossfire is just a pain in the ass anymore, half the time you see better gameplay under a single 7970 than you do with 2.
 


does your 7970 have a cooler that exhausts air out the rear, or does all the hot air blow back into the case? if it blows back into the case, probably avoid a matx build. What matx case do you plan on using?
