Ok I opened up my Tower again and done some carefull measurements and it looks like it might fit but it doesn't look like a lot of room at the bottom of the tower, so I'm a bit worried about it overheating.

I've linked a photo of the inside of my tower, maybe you could tell if a GTX 670 will fit, sorry to be a pain :confused:.

Looks like it will fit indeed. Youll probably have some space left...

 

Indeed the bottom is a bit sparse in space, youll have to relay those cables as much as you can not to obstruct airflow to the card.

Also try and keep them out of the middle of the space... see if you can eliminate the majority of that ball of spaghetti, perhaps you can get rid of them by tying them up in the space below your DVD or above the HDD. It also looks like you have an extra open slot below the card, maybe you could take out the metal there to provide extra air - but that depends on how dusty it might get behind your PC, as you don't wanna drag in dust and whatever might float inside the house (I have 3 cats, so I gotta clean my system pretty often :\)

My tower inside does look like a spaghetti junction lol.

I'm scared to move them incase I dislodge or damaged anything inside, like I said I'm not very technical when it comes to inside the tower :P, but I do have my dad coming to visit me in a few weeks to install my new GPU, he does knows a pc tower inside and out, he'll probably tidy up the inside of my tower.

And thanks again prod80 you have been a big help.
