I understand this is a long card that takes two slots. I plan to upgrade PSU to 600w but am still video card shopping. I am between XFX HD 5770 PCIE 2.0 and XFX HD 5830 PCIE 2.0

I will receive the computer tomorrow so I will be able to open and see real space availability. I would like to order the card today if someone has this information.

I don't think the 5830 will fit unless you're able to remove the HD cage. Its pretty much an incredibility gimped 5870 in performance but still has its body size.

Edit: You won't have any issues fitting the 5770 but if I may, I suggest you also look at Nvidia's offering in that price range. The GTX 460 will generally perform quite a bit better with a slight price increase. Depending on your monitor resolution you could go for the 768MB or the 1GB version.

If you're keen on getting the XFX ATI cards then that is fine too. Lifetime warranty is always great.
