Will it Case?

[MrAquinoX1]

Hi there!
 
As I am nearing my completion of having a PC all I need is a GPU. I already have the "Basics" of a Computer built. The reason why I didnt grab the GPU while buying my other parts is because I wanted to wait for prices to come down or save enough money, now I have $400.
 
Would any of these GTX 970's fit my Apex PC-389-C case?
 
1. MSI GTX 970 OC
2. MSI GTX 970 Gaming
3. Asus Strix
 
I can only buy a Graphics card and not buy a new case because I don't live in the US and shipping rates are high (Like $25-50).
 

CPU:

i5 4460
Motherboard: MSI H81M-E33
Ram: Crucial B. Sport XT 8GB DDR3 1600
PSU: EVGA 500w 80 Plus
HDD: WD 1TB
 
Thanks for reading!

I can't help with whether those cards will fit or not, but if you want a GTX 970 and are worried about the card length then you could look at the ITX versions of the 970 from Gigabyte and Asus.

Any performance loss between these card and the longer ones?

I don't mind if I can't OC.

They are fully featured cards running the same memory/core speeds as far as I'm aware. No doubt there will be benchmarks out there somewhere but everything I've heard is that as standard they should perform identically to a full sized card.
