Put simply im a bit of a noob but i need a bitof help finding out if i would have room for a XFX Radeon R7 260X Graphics Card (Core Edition) 2GB DDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 on a gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-HD2 i definitely have space length wise as there is plenty of room in my case im worried the fan will be too big depth wise and dont want to purchase anything until i know it will fit
 
As per your other thread which was deleted here was the response for that:

Seems that the graphics card will deny access to the PCI X1 slot if installed, however considered just getting a ~$20 USB wifi card instead? They will work just as well as your current (depending on what wifi card you currently have), and will allow for the R7 260X to be installed no problem.

For this slightly different question:

The GPU fan? Wont be an issue as it's flush with the cooler, and not sticking out.
