I'm using a case right now for my first build that has this shield blocking the graphics card ports. The graphics card, Geforce 1050 ti, has a metal port that is blocked by the case's, thermaltake Versa H15, weird metal ventilation shield. Is there a way to remove this, or will I need a different card?

You have to just pop it (usually unscrew)... the little metal plate blocking your way.

Do I have to do that before installing the motherboard? And do you know what kind of screwtip I need. I tried unscrewing it and couldn't get them to budge. Assumed that's because it didn't unscrew.

Before, after, either works.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

A photo would help. I do not know this exact case. But I am sure that screws should come with the case. If you look from outside the case you should see the lining around those little plates those are there to help it get out. I cant find any reasonable photo to show you but I hope you get it. You can do it before or after it does not really matter.

the slot covers on the H15 you have to remove before installing any pci-e device, push it till one side breaks off and keep moving it up and down till it breaks off.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

You just have to pry the metal covers out. Than you will be able to place your Card in the slot.
