Whats the dimensions of your case? a friend of mine got a new case / GPU a few weeks ago. Had to modify his case slightly as the card wouldn't fit. If you're getting a huge ass card. Make sure its secured (the motherboard), i was scrolling a hardware forum last night, apparently someone broke their mobo that way.

Most new case allows removal of drivecage to make more space.

Quote from: The hard drive specs24x7 reliability for always-on video streaming
- These drives are designed to last in high-temperature, always-on, digital audio/video environments such as video surveillance systems, PVR/DVR and IPTV.
If you trust their word this should not die to motor failure in next few years.


on paper the ASUS seems to be best.
Fastest core speed, fastest memory clock speed.
+2 fans so it should run bit cooler than the other 2 with single fans. Knowing those 7000 series likes to run hot on single fan
