Alright, so I've decided to go with this card over all the other options I've looked at. Gonna get a new power supply (Any ATX power supply fits in this 8700, apparently) to go with it too, so I can play all of the latest games at the max with my 1080p monitor. However, before I pull the trigger on this purchase, I need to clear up two things.
1. Is my Dell XPS 8700 case big enough to fit this card? It's smaller than an average ATX case, which is troublesome.
2. Will I have any other issues with this card in my Dell XPS 8700? As in, heating, power consumption, etc.

However I also upgraded the PSU to a Corsair modular (the card needs 2 power connections (6+8); the Dell PSU only allows 1 but I also wanted a power boost). I had to hacksaw a tiny bit inside the case to attach one of the power plugs. Also I had to disconnect the front 2 USB3 ports unfortunately, as the plug on the mobo was in the way of the card. Apart from that, easy enough!
