I purchased a Dell 3847 with 16gb ram and i7 4790, it came with an Nvidia 720 so I've purchased a 290x and a 750w 80+ gold upgrade, although the 290x hasn't arrived yet.
The problem is there is only space for 25cm before the hard drive mounts get in the way and the 290x is 29cm long and I can't remove the hard drive mounts off as they seem to be bolted down on the other side of the case. So I am considering ordering a new case and then migrating all the components over, but whilst I know for certain that'll sort out the length of the graphics card into a standard ATX case, will it physically fit the width on the motherboard? Or will the RAM clips get in the way?
