I'm using a SilverStone SG05 case and am looking to upgrade from my GTS250.

The board I'm using is a Zotac GF9300-G-E mITX. I need to be able to continue using the onboard GPU (a GeForce 9300).

I'm running Windows 7 Pro. x64.

These are the two cards I'm looking at:

HIS HD5770

GalaxyTech GTX260+ Razor

I'm limited to these because I need that second PCI slot bracket in my SG05 for a USB bracket (four ports to USB Headers). With the HD5770, I believe I'd still be w/in the SG05's included PSU's load limit. With the GTX260, I'd have to upgrade to SilverStone's 450W SFX PSU for the SG05/SG06 and I'd have to cut out a little bit of the case for the card to fit.

Right now, the HD5770 is the front-runner, BUT:

Can both ATI CCC and Nvidia Forceware be installed and used simultaneously in Windows 7 (so I can run the onboard 9300 GPU AND the HD5770 simultaneously)?

Looking at the head-on pictures at Newegg it looks like this HD5770 might actually be three slots thick while the GTX260 takes just one slot. More than two slots thick and it won't fit in the SG05.

So, anyone have any thoughts, recommendations?
