I'm trying to add a 3rd graphics card to my gaming and mining rig. I have a gtx 680 and a 750 ti currently. Looking to add a 2nd 750 ti. 

 

This is my case

This is my motherboard

My problem is on the 3rd PCI 16 slot sits right above the power connections and usb connections. So any dual card is obstructed by those connections.

 

Can I use pci risers and still mount the card in my case? Just looking for some ideas. My case is huge and should allow this if not for the obstructions.

 

Thanks in advance guys.

Sell the 750Ti and get a GTX 770..  750Ti SLI is weird.

It's not just weird, it doesn't exist :D

remove the motherboard an install the GPU. then re-route all the cables below it. 

i really don't see the point in the bottom PCI_E slot on motherboards since most of the USB headers are blocked off.
