Case advice for R9 295x2

Hi everyone, I'm building a new PC in about a month and I've chosen the R9 295x2 as my card...

I'm concerned about case space issues, I was wanting to go with the corsair vengeance C70 but I'm not sure if this would have enough room for the card (given that I would also have a H100 CPU cooler top mounted, as well as 2 SSD's and 2 HDD's)

Can anyone offer advice and/or experiences when building around this card? Don't worry I'll be going with a 1000w PSU.

Thanks in advance!

900D for sure. Not many other cases are big enough for the 295x2.

It fits in my 300R I think :/

 

 

It's only a 12 inch card, that's nearly a standard size for lots of GPU's nowadays, 10-12 inches.

Thanks for the input so far - Can anyone confirm if it will/will not fit in the C70?

I was considering the H440, alongside quite a few other cases

It fits.

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

I'm pretty sure it even fits in the Node 304, a mini ITX case.

 

Honestly, you're not likely to struggle to fit it.
