Hey so over the past few months i bought a new graphics card(GTX 960 4G) and i cant install it in my computer everytime i try to do it the psu cable touches the heatsink on the gpu

is there any fast solutions for this cause i really really really in need of help right now


I thought of grabbing an extension but i have to order a new one from amazon and i dont have time for that

 
Solution


the area around the video card is OK, its not pretty but it works.

I am a little concerned about the area above the CPU fan. if you can maybe tie the PSU...
