Height isn't the issue normally. Length is. You want to measure from the back of the case (where the expansion slots are) to the front where your HDD caddy is.
 
Unless you are planning to use some super slim case, you won`t have a height problem even with a micro atx case there is plenty of height space, as voyager said some graphics cards can be long so carefully look at where your pci-e slot is in relation to where your hard drives are and also the bays that hold the hard drives, you can move your hard drive to accomodate the card, but you can`t really remove the drive bays themselves.
 
Thanks to both! Yes, I'm aware Length is usually the concern but that info for this case is available.

My confusion arose over this post documenting a near-max fit for Case/PSU/Video Card, and Amazon giving WILDLY inaccurate card dimensions (???[EDIT]I guess Amazon list's the entire box's measurements under "product dimensions," though for some items I've seen different sections for product/shipping dimensions so by the lack of the shipping dimensions and since it's not really important for video cards, I assumed the product dimensions were indeed about the card[/EDIT]) (official site for card says ~4.53").

Thanks for helping me guys! :)
