Yes it will. The slot closer to the processor (your 4.0 x16 slot) is the faster slot.

I don't see how your ram could ever be a problem. Can you post a picture?

The top slot is the only one that's x16 and straight to the CPU. The bottom one is only x4 and goes to the chipset.

 

How can RAM interfere? Can't imagine that being a thing unless you got RAM with a massive decorative thing on top and the manufacturer didn't give a damn about that not fitting in any system.

Sure, give me one second

While 4.0 x4 isn't optimal it would still be a fast enough BUS to allow for reasonable performance. It is recommended to use the x16 slot tho

I'm just dumb, ignore me haha. It was the fan on the bottom right built into Mobo that worried me when I built it, and when I asked a friend he said put it in the bottom PCIe. Haven't worried about it until I went to clean my computer today and I just assumed that I did that because of the RAM but I just remembered wrong. The fan will fine if the GPU is in the way, right?

You should be able to insert the video card just fine in the slot.

The card may touch the heatsink of the chipset and that's fine, but shouldn't touch the actual fan blades

 

The other pci-e x16 is connected to the chipset and runs at pci-e x4 , and the chipset itself is connected to the cpu with the equivalent of 8 GB/s (pci-e 4.0 x4 or pci-e 3.0 x8) so the video card would be choked a bit.
