This PSU is a perfect fit for your needs and will fit your case , it's the same size as your current one , great quality made by a SEASONIC.

oh, good thought. the case is a mini tower, and based of the size of the case and the cards, im not sure. i THINK if you get the card with a low-profile bracket it should fit. also, the r7 260x is significantly smaller. i couldnt find a low-profile version or either card, but there may be.

So you think the R7 260x would be a better choice?

well, if it is down to those 2 cards then the 265 is a little bit faster, and a little more expensive, but the 260x has a better chance of fitting.
