Recently I was grabbing some parts for my first ever build. Now, I got the parts I wanted, but PCPartPicker says;

"The Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 430mm long, but video cards over 300mm may block drive bays. Since the Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX Video Card is 305mm long, some drive bays may not be usable."

Is this a huge problem?

Geeetings from a noob to PC gaming 😛

I looked at the specs of that case, it says
Maximum GPU length:
Top slots: 430mm
Lower slots: 320mm
Meaning if you use the top pcie slot on motherboard, which you normally do, this slot clears the HDD cage and allows 430mm, use the lower slots, like in sli with 2 cards, then they must be less than 320mm. So going from the manual on that case https://cc.cnetcontent.com/inlinecontent/mediaserver/corsair/33c/918/33c918517e2e49d6916e167bb6408f9f/original.pdf you could install that 305mm card in any slot and have clearance

Who said it could only take 300mm? maybe they got it wrong?"The Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 430mm long, but video cards over 300mm may block drive bays. Since the Asus GeForce GTX 980...

The site PCPartsPicker. I don't know who, I just built my build and that showed up. Thanks for the help!
