Hello guys, I currently have the ASUS Rampage IV Gene,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131805&cm_re=asus_rampage_iv_gene-_-13-131-805-_-Product

and I was looking to upgrade my GPU. I was looking at one of these two GPU's

Zotac GTX 970 AMP! Omega Edition
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500363&cm_re=zotac_gtx_970-_-14-500-363-_-Product

and Zotac GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Edition.

The problem im having is that I dont know if these video cards will fit. It looks like the SATA ports might block the cards, but im not sure. I dont want to buy one of those just to find out they dont fit. Also if they dont fit, what would be the best/biggest card I can fit on this board.

I am currently running
XFX Radeon HD 7850 Core Edition

Solution
Yes, no issue at all. No ports on the board will block the card. I have a ~30CM card above my SATA ports and they are the exact same height as that board (MSI X79 Big Bang XPower II).

I would invest in the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 / MSI Gaming GTX 970, the better choice over Zotac.
