Hdmi is a standard size, what graphics card are you using? Please give a picture and point to which port you are using.

Ok so you're saying the plastic cover around the hdmi cable is being blocked by the case?

That Hdmi output is standard size.

What model r9 390 is that? Hdmi plug does seem pretty close to the edge. Can you drop it down a bit to another slot if you have one? That way you can bend the metal slit up a bit to make room for the plug.

Could try gently lower the card a bit then tighten the screw, enough to fit the HDMI cable, i can see there's not much room. Either that or find a HDMI cable with not so much plastic around it.

Rest of the outputs are DisplayPort and 1 DVI-D. DisplayPort is going to have the same problem. Besides altering the case with a chisel to make room for a plug which would involve taking everything out to prevent damage, only other option i can see without too much mucking around is using the DVI-D port with a DVI to HDMI cable or adapter. If your monitor has DVI-D or DVD-I, can use a DVI-D male to male cable instead. Depends if your monitor has speakers and want to use them as well, good chance DVI wont carry sound but it's possible.

I'm going try to fix this without altering the case can u think of any brandy that have skinnier hdmi cables than others

Best is to go down the street to your local store and have a look at their range. You want High speed HDMI cable. Your GPU uses HDMI 1.4a, so ask for that.

Maybe take the case and they can probably help you out, or at least make sure it fits before buying.
