Hello, Im in the market for a GPU to complete my first gaming rig. 

 

Here is the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DrMacintosh/saved/#view=NvjCmG

 

All that remains is the GPU.

 

I cannot decide on what to get. The MSI R9 290.....or the MSI R9 390.

 

The deciding factor might just be the size of the card. Due to the 390 being such a massive card and me having such a small case.......I fear that the 390 won't fit inside the Cooler Master elite 130

 

I fear the dam USB 3.0 header will get in the way of the backplate on the 390! Now I understand that this is a very specific request......but if there is anyone out there with a caliper, or just a tape measurer.....can you please tell me how thick the backplate is on the 390? And if you want to go the extra mile maybe the thickness of the cooler? Thank you

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Note: the measurements in the picture are approximate. I have also shaved about 1mm of rubber off the USB header.
