Move the insert for who knows what down a slot so you have two of the pcie brackets open directly next to eachother, then just like how the current one is installed.

how long is it?

i am going to make a dangerous assumption it is around 300mm long (the only length 4+ cases I have)

 

it should fit

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

What's the cable in the second PCI bracket? PSU power cord?

Move it to another slot.

Yes, a GTX 1050 will fit in your system, however I'd be safe and get a single fan version of the 1050 and not a dual fan so that you have a smaller card. EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte, etc all have single fan versions of the 1050.

 

Oh, yeah, also move that power cable PCI extension down a slot.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Actually it's an old and big VGA connector which I think is required by the old montors and all I removed it and now there is a free bracket and idk what to do because my GPU (zotac gtx 1050 is having a single bracket.

I'm buying the gtx 1050 of zotac which has a single slot and as well as single fan pretty fast. But im left with one big bracket empty beacuse I removed that cable below the GPU any suggestions what should I do?

Didn't get you. :/

 

If you're getting the single slot card, then nevermind.
