Will the SAPPHIRE R9 270X TOXIC edition:

Fit in this system?:

I know this card is a bit longer than the other versions, yet i specifically wanted this card becasue of the colors, and because it's the fastest version of the 270X.

Thanks,

Your system has dimensions of 16.3"Length x 15"Height x 6.9"Depth and the 270x Toxic is 12.13"Length x 4.45"Wide, which theoretically means it should fit. What I would need to know it there are any hard drive bays or expansion slots that would potentially block the GPU's length. If nothing's blocking it, it should fit.

Measure the case as i7Baby suggested :)

Well it has 3 expansion slots. Also there is another one for 10$ more, yet it has 4GB of VRAM, should i get that on instead?

What we meant was the length of room inside your the case, not the expansion slots. As for the 4GB model, if it's only 10$ more you might aswell get it but you won't be able to take advantage of the 4GB in the sense of your card's performance on multiple displays. An R9 270x is a good 1080p performer but in higher resolutions and multiple monitor setups(Eyefinity), the card's performance wouldn't have great frame rates even with the 4GB of VRAM. (The card is limited by it's raw performance on higher resolutions / multiple monitors working together(Not 1 screen for a game, 1 for videos, etc) and not by the 4GB)

So my take on it is that since it's only 10$ more, you might aswell pick it up.

Well i only will be gaming at 1600x900 res, and only one monitor, so other than using it for games that require the full 4GB, like watch dogs, or the evil within, i have no need for it! :p  But i still will consider it, and Thanks for your help @TheDualShock & @i7baby
