GTX 1070 Fitting Issue?

[Reiley360]

So i have recently just finished building my 1st gaming pc (first computer build in general) and i still need the gpu. the gpu is listed as an:"ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 STRIX-GTX1070-8G-GAMING 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card." Now this is the only gpu i have settled on, and i don't want any persuasion to not buy it or anything, but my concern is that it isn't going to fit. I am almost certain that it will not be an issue of the case (NZXT S340) but the motherboard (MSI H110M GAMING). It really looks as though the gpu would hit the RAM if i tried putting one in there, as the space is so little in terms of the ram and gpu. if you are able to, please have a look at the motherboard and gpu mentioned and let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

It will fit fine. The RAM slots are always close to the PCIe x16 slot. But cards do clear, since the edge connector is about the furthest the card extends in that direction. The card's body almost fully extends away from the RAM slots.
