Maybe you could be a little more clear in what you are requesting help with:

Most likely depends on your motherboard if it's touching your PSU. Full PC specs please.

I'm running with a ASUS Maximus VI Hero, AX860, and two 780s in a 600T and have no issues with clearance.

Okay, well my pc specs are:
GPU: MSI Radeon R7870 Twin Frozr III OC 2GB x2
CPU: Core i7 2600
CPU cooler: Cooler master TX3 Evo
HDD: 3 x 250GB
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth P67 Rev3.0
PSU:Cooler Master B700

The design of your motherboard forces your second GPU to be that close to your PSU. As you have no other usable lanes, there's not much you can do about it. Your cards aren't abnormally large either.

So it is, or it is not possible, you think? I really hope it as i can get a 600T for only 60$

Oh, I thought you already had the case and your problem was the GPU touching the PSU.

The 600T is large for a mid-tower. The 2nd GPU shouldn't touch your PSU.

Ah, no, currently i'm having a Cooler Master K380 where the 2nd GPU is touching the PSU. But with the 600T that will luckily be not a problem anymore thanks for your help man (sorry, i already said best solution to the first answer ;P)

Most motherboards designed for CrossFire or SLI are going to place the secondary PCI-e x16 slot a few slots down to allow for better airflow. I wouldn't consider your Sabertooth to be an exception or anomaly here. From the looks of the case, the PSU is below the height of the bottom of the motherboard, and the second graphics card will not extend below the bottom of the motherboard. I don't see the graphics card contacting the PSU.

If it's not clear, your second x16 slot should place your graphics card right about where the third one is in the picture I linked to.
