Hi guys i'm buying a R9 270 soon but im stuck between manufacturers. My choices are:
Gigabyte-R2199 (longest)
Asus-R2199 (middle)
Sapphire-R2099 (shortest)

The main concern of mine is the size of the card as my board is a Foxconn H61MXE. i've got a HD6670 in right now and it's already blocking sata ports so i dont want to get one thats too big but from what i read the Gigabyte version OC's better due to the fan(which is why its the only one that requires 2 6 pins). So any help would be appreciated.
 
I had the same issues so I opted for R7 260X. It's not a 256bit GPU but the memory is overclocked high enough to keep up with the R9 270. There are some good cheap cases to accommodate the large GPU like the Sharkoon T28 http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/t28
