The case of yours is a Mini Tower (Width 7.3" Depth 17.5" Height 16.0"), so make sure before you buy a GPU and a PSU, that they will fit in.

And what is your budget ?

It will depend on your case cooling option. If your case has 2/3 intake/exhaust fan then there is nothing to worry about. The card can handle 90/95 C when gaming, still will last for years. And generally this cards don't generate much heat, in idle they will be around 30/35 C.

Depending on your budget I would go with either the gtx 770 or 780.

Sorry, just read your case size. I doubt either of them would fit.
