Graphic Card+Case compatibility

[Matt_179]

Hello users I am new to Tom's Hardware, being a member that is anyway I have looked around the forums for various answers and stuff. But today I decided to sign up and ask the community a question.

I currently have a Fractal Design, Define R4 Black Pearl case and a MSI Z97-G55 SLI Motherboard.

I currently have an Gainward GeForce GTX 770.

My question is if I can get a EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition

and will it fit with the motherboard and case?

Graphics cards up to 295mm in length with the top HDD cage installed
With the top cage removed, graphics cards up to 430mm in length may be installed

Card is 267 mm , so it easily fits on the board and in your case , 100% compatible.

Does it work with the top HDD cage attached or do I need to remove that first?

You'll have 28mm (1.1 inches) of clearance with the 1080 installed. It will fit.

As stated on their website. "Graphics cards up to 295mm in length with the top HDD cage installed"
