Hello!
So i have an ASUS m5a78l m lx motherboard, and ill buy a gtx 750ti.
MOBO
GPU
Adapter

The problem is that the Wireless adapter is located at the bottom pci slot (the big one), and the gpu will be right above it on the pci-e 16x, and i am very worried if it will fit in there.

GPU dimensions: 250 x 128 x 37 mm

So will it fit? or i will have to buy a low profile card?

Also i think it would block the fans, and make it very hot!
 
Solution
simpler answer is just install it haha..

it have same setup with my old cfx system where only have half length for breathing..
(yours better since only half of fan blocked)

it'll get hot, but not much to worry.. (overheating)

edit: don't go to usb one they are crappy dongle can get hot quickly and effect the connectivity.
if u must then buy pci-ex x1 ones to put it at top slot of gpu card..
will it fit.. yes

will it blocking the airflow .. yes..

are booth card will going hot later.. yes..

do u need buying low profile gpu?.. not necessary.. u could but

as long as u going to modest playing not push the card to extreme or for long hours..
and the airflow inside the case is good, it's fine IMO

edit:
(just think both card is SLI/CFX card some of them have similar setup & spacing 😀 )
 
Basically half of the first fan would be blocked... Its a dual fan card, and its kinda overkill for the 750ti chip 😛
Also my case has a 120mm front cooler that could help a little...

I play normally A LOT! xD But i will not overclock it.
One thing i think i could do is buying a usb wireless adapter, so i could kick that pci junk away and have a open space on the gpu! But... im allready on my max budget, and i have to choose from a Razer goliathus mouse pad and that usb adapter 🙁

WHAT DO I DO?!?! ;-;

The last thing i want to do is getting a low profile card... it has lower performance and its ugly... xD
