Hi guys,

I have £200 to spend on a graphics card to fit in my zalman z11 case, it says the case supports cards up to 290mm in length, but I was looking at the msi gtx760 2GB however I believe that's 300 mm long so won't fit? Either that or msi gtx 960 I belive, just thought I'd ask the community on their opinion on the best Graphics card that can fit in this case and for that price point
Many thanks

The 280X is rated higher than the GTX 760 or 960 and should deliver better FPS in demanding games. The additional memory it has will help with newer games too.
The 280X is most powerful of the 3 and has the most memory. It may be the best choice for your budget, but, it needs a good quality 600 watt PSU to power it. If you don't have that much power and don't want to buy a new PSU, the GTX 960 could be a good choice using half the wattage as a 280X.

I have a corsair 750M power supply so that should be fine, I'm guessing it'll need an 8 and 6 pin power connection

So are you saying the r9 280x would give the best fps out of the three?

The 280x is probably your best choice. Also games today need more and more VRAM, which means that the 3GB will be a significant increase from the other's 2GB, as well as a stronger GPU on the 280x.
