I'm ordering the SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 390 graphics card and I really need to know if it can fit in my computer. Here is the link for the graphics card- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202164

Here are my PC Specs:
Sentey Stealth 6008
SMART 650W Power Supply
FX-8350 OC to 4.4GHz
Biostar TA970 Motherboard

Will it work? If not I can get the msi version of the card but I would like to save money if possible.

P.S I had a gigabyte radeon 7950 with 3 fans that would fit in it but I read this r9 390 is even longer than that.

these are the form factor number for the 390 from sapphires official site.

(copy pasted from website)
Form Factor 2.2 Part Slot Occupied
12.1 X 5 X 1.7 Dimension /Inch
308 X 127 X 42.3 Dimension /mm

these are the size numbers for the 7950 from gigabytes official website.

(copy pasted from website)
Card size H=38 mm, L=285 mm, W=126 mm

measure your current video card and notice how much space is left, convert measurements and compare with the size of the R9 390.

ALSO, Sapphires website suggests a 750w power supply for the Nitro R9 390, you might have to upgrade your power supply.

Don't know why you didn't search for this yourself. That card is 13.25" long (337 mm) and your case says it can support up to 330mm. So, NO it can't fit, but only just. If you really want to fit that card, you could see if there is any way to "bend" the cages in your case (if they are not being used), you only need 7mm (just over a quarter inch).

That's interesting, your lengths are less than what I found. As Newegg didn't say the size I looked on Amazon and found the 13.25". If you say you got yours from the official website, I'd trust that more :)

Official websites are usually the best source of accurate information, but looks like he is going to struggle to fit that beast into his case, video card makers should really start to think about the size of their products, the R9 Nano might be use-full here.
