I recently build a pc but haven't put in a graphic card yet... Have asked a friend from usa to look into a r9 280x radeon toxic as it is much cheaper from what it is priced in india... Want to game at 1080p with everything maxed out....Issue is i cant figure out whether or not it will fit in my case which is "Circle CC545"

Distance from back to hdd cage is slightly above 10" inches. But the card measures over 12"..... Will i be able to put that card inside this case??? or should i look for another altenative?? Pics shared





Waiting for your suggestions... Thank you..

Thanks for your reply, i just measured the distance from the hdd cage to the back of the case, its 10.7" to be precise.... so you are saying the extra length of the card can easily slide inside the cage with the card properly sitting on the pcie x16 slot??? sorry for novice questions but this is my first pc build.....dont want to end up with a card that doesnt fit.....
I found other options like the sapphire dual-x r9 280x -- 10.3" and the msi gaming r9 280x -10.6"
how are this cards performance wise??
Thank again....

R9 280x???? it is a beast...Make sure that you get the sapphire one rather than msi cause sapphire has the best cooling system and it is even short in length than the msi one...The card even fit in you cabinet,.Get the R9 280x ...You get 3gb of gddr5 type memory and it is a 384 bit card so it performs like a flaming beast...It can play all games at ultra at 1080p like watch dogs,crysis 3,bf4 and many more...Just get it if you are on budget..Otherwise just go with R9 270x or even GTX 760
