[Planning] I need help solving a space issue.

[lookaquarter]

So, I've decided most of the components I want in a new build. However, two of these parts, the gpu, a r9 295x2 and the case, a Corsair 240 air carbide, on paper, do not fit together.

Here are the links to the products on pcpartpicker:

Case: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-cc9011070ww

GPU: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9295x8qfa

 

I think they can fit however, because the 11.42 in videocard limit on the case, is not including the space in the front of the case included for a 240mm radiator.

I wanted to ask some smarter folk about this, to see what others may think would work.

 

At the moment, the only way to those two parts fit, would be to go with a non-watercooled cpu cooler, and mount the gpu cooler to the upper front of the case, and possibly mount a single fan below it if that fits. However, I'd rather the watercooled cpu if possible.

 

Thanks for reading and I'm eagerly waiting for any creative/uncreative solutions you guys may have for this problem.

Its because the side window is very close to the graphics card and so the tubing would not fit. Probably

I know why it says it doesnt fit, it's because the max videocard length doesnt include the space that a radiator would take up.

 

I want to know what the best way of going about forcing it in would be, if that isn't a completely stupid idea.

PCI riser

PCI riser

Wouldn't that not allow the card to line up with the slots on the case?

 

I've never seen a pci riser before
