So I'm planning on doing my first build and i want to get a 7870 but i can't for the life of me find out if it will fit in a mATX case or not, will it be too long or am I just being over cautious?

I'm planning on this 7870: http://www.dabs.com/products/xfx-amd-radeon-7870-hd-1ghz-2gb-pci-express-3-0-hdmi-dd-8VXW.html

I'm thinking of this cheap case because I don't really care what the computer looks like: http://www.ebuyer.com/265748-casecom-cm-431-shiny-black-microatx-case-cm-431

And this motherboard: http://www.ebuyer.com/269072-asus-m5a78l-m-usb3-amd-socket-am3-8-channel-hd-audio-matx-motherboard-m5a78l-m-usb3

Solution
Card will fit no bother. The card is just a little bit longer than the motherboard. Aside from that, there's plenty of space below the hard drive cage for longer cards to expand into.
