Hey. I am building a pc for the first time and I´m building it in fractal designs mini c. I am going to install a 240mm radiator in the front of the case and a gtx 1070 behind it and I was wondering how much space there needs to be between the radiator and the gpu? The cpu cooler is going to be a cooler master master liquid 240 with stock fans in case you wanted to know. Thanks in advance.
how much space should there be between a gpu and a radiator?

There should be enough space that the wires will not get hit by fan blades, or if it's in a push configuration, you need enough space to work without hitting the fins, as they are easy to damage.
If you have very steady hands and are careful about wire management, they can nearly touch.

Technically, yes. I know that I couldn't pull that off, though. Inserting the GPU into the PCIe slot may be doable, but you have to be REALLY careful if you ever have to take it out again.
