Alienware X51 R2 graphics card update

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my alienware x51 r2's graphics card. Currently it has a GTX 760 1.5 gb. Could anyone tell me specifically what I can upgrade to that would fit into this machine? Im worried because the case is so small and the one it came in fits in just perfectly as it is. If you could link some options for me it would be great. (perhaps the best i can get for it, and one thats pretty good and should perform well for the next few years even if not the best)

    Here are some options. Note that you'll want to get a blower design (look at your GTX 760 to get an idea of what it looks like). We would need you budget to determine which is the best option.

    • GTX 960
    • GTX 970 (get one sub 10" in length)
    • R9 285
    • R9 380

    (Note with the AMD GPUs: require good coolings since they don't come in blower designs, so you may have to remove your DVD drive and possibly side panel).
