As the tittle suggests, I currently have a set up of ASUS GTX 760 SLI and currently, I am unsure if this card will fit my case in SLI. My current case is Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) and when configuring the fit via PCPartPicker, it shows that "The Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 430mm long, but video cards over 295mm may block drive bays. Since the Asus GeForce GTX 1080 8GB STRIX Video Card is 298mm long, some drive bays may not be usable."
I'm cutting it close with 3mm. I currently have the setup up where the cards have excellent space available and drive bays removed to accommodate future installs. I feel like the slot for the first card will fit fine, but I am unsure for the slot below the first card as I feel like the drive bay at the bottom will block it. I don't want to remove the bottom drive bay as it's screwed together to the case on the bottom and the top bay as well. The middle base was easily removed from clip-on. If you look at the pictures below, you will see what I mean. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
