So I finally decided to buy an r9 280x, the problem is that I don't know if it will fit in my case.
According to the Antec website the biggest video card i can get has to be 10.5"

Are there any models of the r9 280x that are specially small or is there any card with similar performance that can fit in my case? help is appreciated.

I've heard not so great things from Club 3D, i think you should be okay, it might be a little cramped, but you should google "Will the MSI Gaming Edition R9 280X fit in the ___________ case?" I think you should be okay with the card because the 10.5'' is not from one side of the case to another, it may cause some cramped conditions but you should be able to get it in there.

All 280X's are the same size pretty much, if anything they will be larger than the reference model. I think the 280X is about as small as you can go for a card of the same performance. The smallest 280X's are the MSI Gaming Edition and the Gigabyte 3x Windforce models. The other GPU of comparative performance is the GTX 770, which is faster than the 280X but has less memory and a smaller memory buffer.
