First of all we have no idea what case you have, so how could we possibly know if it will fit.
Secondly I am amazed how this is such a common question for people to ask on this forum.
Under newegg in the specs or on the OEMs website for that card it states how long the card is.
On newegg or OEM website for a case it states how deep of GPU it can handle.
Answering this question is as simple as taking 20 seconds to do 2 google searches.
Got a factory computer like Dell, HP, etc; then you lookup the length of the GPU you want, and then use a ruler to measure inside your case. This is not advanced physics here.

The motherboard makes absolutely zero difference here.
The case is the determining factor. Different cases have different height, width, and depth. The case is what has hard drive cages in different configurations that may or may not be removable.
And in regards to be being rude: I can understand not knowing much about computers and so like this of not knowing that the motherboard has nothing to do with it is something you would not know, understandable. I just have an issue when people seem to make zero attempt to figure out something on their own and want us to do simple google searches for them.
words like "around" are not usefull in any way shape or form.
Assuming that your eye-balling it is even half way accurate, a 1/4 of an inch could be the make or break difference so "around X" does not cut it.
Also the exterior dimensions mean absolutely nothing. If someone asks if a bed will fit inside a room you don't go and measure the outside dimensions of the house.
Power off the PC and remove the power cable for extra safety.
Remove the side cover
Take a tape measure and measure from the back slot cover on the case (where the gpu ports would be at), and measure to the first obstruction.
So for the example in the picture the first obstruction is the hard drive cage that is about at the 30cm mark on the tape measure. Naturally with the tape measure you can get an exact number.

What the others are trying to get at is that there are literally thousands of possible cases and without any clue what you have, it's impossible for us to give any kind of good answer. It's a bit like asking if a recliner will fit in your car without saying the car and then telling us it has four doors!
Without any clue as to what the case is or even the model of computer you have, it's just guesswork. The only real answer, without that information, that we could give is to go into your case with a tape measure and physically measure how much room there is where your GPU would go.

Again, the outside dimensions do not mean anything!!!
How long the outside of a car is in now way tells me which car has more space for a 6ft 3in person in the drivers seat.
You need to measure the actual area where the graphics card will go.
So take the ruler and at the spot where the GPU would go, measure from the back part of the inside of the case (the back is where all the usb and video ports are at) to the first obstruction in the case (most likely a hard drive cage).
???????????????
You must be saying the wrong part.
The processor is the CPU that attaches to the motherboard that is not at all in the way of the GPU and has no influence on how it fits.
The processor, while required for a computer to start, has nothing to do with the actual physical process of starting a computer.
11 inches exactly or 11.x inches??? That fraction of an inch can make a big difference.
You will need to use google and serach for "inches to mm" conversion and enter the exact measurement as most all GPU specs are in mm.
Then it is just simply looking at the specs of what GPU you want and seeing if it is smaller then the number you measured.
