Hello everyone !
I'm going to build my first gaming pc in a couple of monthes and wanted to check if the GPU I choose is compatible with the case and GPU I got , my fear is that the GPU is too wide to fit (although I will be using AIO just to avoid issues with the heatsink ) . I searched everywhere on the internet and couldn't get any answers so I'm turning to you guys !

Case : Fractal Design core 500
GPU : Gigabyte GTX 1070 Xtreme Gaming ( H=57 L=291 W=140 mm )
Motherboard : Asus Z170I Pro Gaming

I mean I'd worry more about your nickname. Holy shit, Roman much xD

Jokes aside, I think you'll find the width fine. At most it will flex a bit. But like everyone said maybe its the length you should worry about
Must have been a thorough search 😛
The core 500 takes GPUs up.to 310mm length
Width shouldn't be a problem considering the case is 250mm wide

As far as the 1070 goes, maybe get a dual slot card, not a triple slot (I actually don't remember if the g1 is dual slot or triple slot)
