Hi!

I have a Fractal Design Core 1000 Micro ATX Computer Case with an XFX AMD Radeon R7850 in it right now. The card runs like crap but I've had it for about 18 months. I wish to upgrade to something that doesn't hit 90c while running World of Warcraft on low settings... Something seems off.

A friend recommended the R9 285, it costs around £170 which is roughly my budget. The dimensions all seem to indicate that it'll fit, but the card itself seem quite bulky, and I'm not GREAT with the internal part of computers, so I'd prefer to run into no problems when fitting it!

Does anyone know if it'll fit alright?

There's a link to the card. If I know it'll fit then I'm good to go I think, unless anybody has other recommendations for cards. I pretty much only play CS:GO and WoW, sometimes arma 3, and I have dual monitors setup for streaming.
