So i measured the inside of my case, 31 cm, the card im wanting to buy is 29.8 cm, sure it fits normaly, but im scared ill have to remove a fan from the front side to fit it in, its 120 mm and theres 3 of them on the front.

Should i be worried?

The case is:

Sharkoon - TK5M RGB

Dont forget to mark as solution if your question is answered

Fans typically have a thickness of 25mm, so that card probably isn’t gonna fit.

 

also, from experience, any card that theoretically only just fits, will be a pain in the a*** to get in and out. I’d go for a GPU that is 27cm or less.

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

Your fans are only 7mm thick?

no, the website says max size of 31 cm, i assume this is WITH fan thickness And bracket (i dont know if the extra bit on GPUs to mount them in brackets is included in measurement) instead of BETWEEN the bracket and the fan

31cm is with the fans yes, you can see they list 2 sizes. Both 31 and 33.5 (so 25mm fan).

It should fit.

Oh, I assumed the 31 was without fans: yes the GPU will fit and it's not stupidly tight so go for it.
