Could you be more specific? Maybe provide a photo?

 

There are two PCIe bracket sizes, low profile and regular. If you have a low profile case, you need a low profile graphics card (very expensive)

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

First search on Goolge gave enough info on this. For one, I thought it might be too old for PCIe. It wasn't, but CPU might still be too old for GPU upgrade beyond 750Ti being even worth it. For two, it has only low-profile PCIe slots. Meaning that full spec cards just won't fit there.
