So I have an Intel DH87RL Micro-ATX mobo ( LGA 1150 Socket) with a GTX 750ti OC installed and I was thinking about upgrading to the GTX 970, only problem is the Thermal Diode gets in the way thus my Intel Mobo can only support graphic cards up to 7 inches before it hits the Diode.
I've searched so much on Amazon and on Toms Hardware to try and find a cheap motherboard with enough space to accommodate a GTX 970 but I can't find one, maybe I didn't search hard enough. So I'm hoping that you guys might help me.
My Price range is: the lower the better.
And yes using a PCI-E riser cable has come to mind, but where will I mount it ? I have a Micro-ATX case as well and I've read that they can cause some speed problems with the GPU.

. I did see the GTX 970 mini and although its Core- and Boost Clock speeds are a bit less than the EVGA GTX 970 SC I'm willing to give it a shot if Nvidia doesn't release any new cards in my price range
