I'm working on speccing out a build for a buddy who's upgrading.

He's got the Guardian 921 case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146070) but I can't for the life of me discover any information to help answer if a 7870 is going to fit inside. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125418)

Even if it can, I realize it's gonna be tight - is this going to be performance hindering?

Not really, not unless the fan is blocked. The only issue would be the placement of the PCI-e connectors and now tight of a fit those are.

If I understand correctly, you're saying that the performance shouldn't be affected. Any idea on the fit?

Yes, performance should not be affected unless the fans are blocked, or the PCI-e power connectors are blocked (some have them on the back rather than the side).
