Asus GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 < good card?

I am looking for a new card to refresh my antique gtx260. My power supply is QFan650, which comes with 2 x 6pin for PCI express, spec here:

I did some research and plan to go for a GTX760, and I find this:

This card is within my budget, it is short (even shorter than my gtx260 which just fit my Armor+MX case) and only use 1 x 8pin, which comes with a 2x6pin to 8 pin converter according to Amazon picture.

Any advice? Is this a good card for $315? I was also looking at Gigabyte GV-N760OC-2GD but the card is huge (29.5cm!) so it can't fit my case :(

    atm 7950 and 7970 are better and being phased out, very good deals

      they're both long cards - he said he wanted a short card

      but yeah gtx760 is great :)

        The Sapphire Dual-X 7950 is only 2cm or so longer than the 5830 which itself is almost the same length as the 760.

        So the Dual-x 7950 is about 2cm longer than the 760.

      I guess 7950 7970 still fit as long as they use standard heatsink. But any fancy 3 fans one will definitely not.

      I have some quick research, the gtx760 sit between 7950 and 7970; 7950 is ~$300 and 7970 is ~$350…

    I just finished my new PC build with this card. BF3 is still downloading so I'll get back to you later.

    But based on reviews this card is great value, able to max out bf3 ultra

      Its definitely a great card for the price but the 7950 happens to be just a bit better only because of the large bus size and better overclocking ability. Both are able to run BF3 and BF4 on ultra. I'm getting 140+ FPS on BF3, 1080P, all maxed on my Dual-X 7950 whoch I bought a week ago from the PCCG deal that was posted here.

      Either way, not trying to boast. Just saying that both the 7950 and 760 are great cards. Impossible to go wrong with either…unless you get a Powercolor.
