That's a very nice card 
will be fine for a good while. It's pretty much the same chip as the GTX680, minus a few cuda cores. I bet you can easily get a 20%-25% overclock out of it, boosting it beyond GTX680 stock speeds with ease.
Be sure to check on prices often (like every few days) to pick one up when the time is right

Errrrmmm... I'm a bit worried that when I get my Gigabyte GTX 670 4GB it wont fit in my tower case 
. I had a look inside my tower and done some measurements to make sure but it looks like it might be a bit of a squeeze and I don't want my new Graphics Card to overheat. I only have a normal Zoostorm desktop tower, its not one of them fancy gaming tower cases.
Does anyone know if my tower will be able to fit a Gigabyte GTX 670 4GB?
This is the link to my tower:

Sorry to be a pain again but I didn't know if my tower case would be a problem or not

Hmmmm....
that is a 275 mm card..... you need a solid 550 - 650 watt PSU to run the whole thing.....
you might have interference in side the case....

There is a review of a similar unit .... 2 GB

If your case is ATX standard, it should fit. It's a large card, and yes it's a bit of a squeeze... I was wondering the same thing with my gtx680... it has about 3mm room at the end and I had to relay some HDD cables for it.
The case you linked appears to be an ATX standard Midi tower. I have the same size case. If you want to make sure, contact the supplier, he should be able to tell you a yes or no.
Heat is a problem in small cases (same boat here) and on hot summer days I have to remove a side panel because of it... but mind you - my system and especially my card are heavily overclocked, so by default I have much more heat buildup. You should not have that problem if you don't overclock the card too high (or at all). My ambient room temp. is 30-32 C here in summer, so it's pretty hot here compared to other parts of the world. The card itself is thermal protected, meaning that if it gets too hot - it will downclock itself to cool off, so it wont burn down everything.
As Raynard says... open your case and check the power supply (PSU)... you need a minimum of those requirements to run that card (good point... I forgot that :\) 550W being the bare minimum, It's better if you have some headroom, say an additional 50W, for the sake of stability.

I'll be ok for a PSU as I have a PowerCool Silent 750W power supply , Its just the tower case I was worried about but I don't have an overclocked system and I don't plan on overclocking my graphics card, so I should be ok hopefully.
It doesn't get too hot here at all in this part of the UK 
.
If I have anymore questions I'll be sure to ask as you guys have been a big help, cheers

That brand is a poor PSU as far as quality .... It is a bottom tier PSU like Raidmax and Apevia.... look into a Seasonic M12II 620w or an XFX 550w or 650w they are inexpensive higher quality unit... like 65.00 - 70.00 USD or so not sure about UK...Corsair HX and TX V2 are good also .. Antec HCG... Antec NEO

Right so I'm set on a GTX 670 4GB and I know on a previous post I did say I was going for a Gigabyte GTX 670 4GB but I have been doing some reading up and people are saying get an ASUS .
What brand do you guys think I should go for, ASUS or Gigabyte and what are the pro's & con's between the two?
I mean I am paying £350 for a GPU so I wanna make sure I choose the right one, sorry to be a pain yet again lol.

Honestly? It really doesn't matter. Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, etc ... they are all fine.
There's zero guarantee one will be good 5 years later and the other will blow up in your face 2 hours after installing.
I always go with Asus, I never had a problem with a piece of hardware from them, but as a result I never had another brand... so that's a very biased opinion. I did however work in IT retail for a while, selling Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and whatever else people wanted, and have seen cards coming back almost equally no matter the brand. However with top end cards it rarely happens... mostly the low to low-mid end have more problems due to cost reduction on the parts surrounding the processor, not the GPU/CPU/Chipset/Mem in itself.
The only advise I always gave to people is to focus more on the motherboard and PSU, and not reduce the price of the system by putting in a lower standard. You can drag a whole system down by not putting in a good quality mobo. And you certainly want stability from your PSU as well. Replacing a broken mobo is a shitty thing to do when you cannot get the same one back... (Windows refuses to boot and whatnot) replacing another part is generally easy and you can even buy a simple version while you wait for your warranty so you can at least use your computer for basic things.

Do you know if my Motherboard will be ok for an ASUS GTX 670 4GB?
I only ask because you started talking about Motherboards and I just wanna make sure I'm all set to get this amazing card. Sorry to bother you its just i'm not really that technical when it comes to inside the tower .
Here's the link to my Motherboard: http://uk.asus.com/M...55/P8H61MX_R20/

That motherboard will be more than fine... it's not top of the line, but it has everything to support that card.
Please just do this to be sure:
Contact the supplier of the tower to check if the case fits a GTX670
The motherboard is uATX size (same as micro ATX (mATX))... If the case is also mATX it might not fit... you probably need an ATX size case to fit that card, or you really have to meassure carefully to determine if it fits (a mATX case might still be able to fit a GTX670...). Ask the supplier to be sure or find the original case maker (seems like an OEM case, might be hard to find the original brand)
You could also check yourself what kind of case it is, just open the side panel... if your uATX motherboard fits the whole backside, you have a mATX case. If there is a lot of free space and unused connection points for the motherboard around it, it's an ATX case. a mATX board should fill up approx. 80% of the space when placed in an ATX case, depending on the size of the mATX board (can vary a little bit in the width - which is important since you have a long card...). I've seen very small mATX mobo's that would hardly fill up 50% of the space in an ATX case.
