As it happens I have stuck with my current XBlade case as there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Its got plenty of scratches and is I think 6 or 7 years old but does the job.
I looked at the middle cage and I do not think that it can be taken out hence why I was looking in to buying another case. However, upon taking measurements again I realised that it would probably JUST fit if im lucky. If not im going to have to grind a notch out of the 2nd cage as its not used.
Anyway Ill make sure to see if it can be taken out, I imagine it should be removable.

I was sooo tempted to just go for a 670, but in the end the GPU I selected is reviewed to be within 1% of a GTX 670 at 1080p at nearly 1/3 of the price. And overclocking it puts it above a 680 I think.
Another thing that swung in the 7950's favour was that it has 3GB as apossed to 2GB and 384 against 256
