Graphics Card Fitting

[bs8814]

Hello
I was wondering if this graphics card: XFX HD7870 DUAL FAN 1000M/4800M 2GB/D-DVI/HDMI/m-DP would fit this motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-M DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD
Its just that in a review of the card it seemed a bit larger than other graphics cards.
Cheers

The mobo is 9.6''x9.6'' and the GPU is 9.5'' long, so it should fit just barely. Just put your hard drive on another slot (if it's in the way) and you should be good to go.

Do you know any mobo's that would comfortably fit it?

It depends on what you understand by comfortably. My GPU is about 1.5'' from my HDD and I don't find that problematic. I'll find something for you, I just need you to tell me your CPU model, if you have any budget range and preferences for mobo model, manufacturer, etc.
