Will the gtx 1080 fit?

[Derptator]

I'm building my first pc and I can't seem to figure out if the gtx 1080 will fit in a Rosewill Galaxy-02 ATX Mid Tower Case. Does anyone know?

Unless someone can find info I can't, it looks like you're going to have to physically measure with a measuring tape how much room you have in that case. Even the official Rosewill page for that case don't give information on max graphics card length that will fit.

It will also depend on which 1080 you buy, as they all very in size depending on the company that makes it.

Wish I could be more helpful, but you're going to need to measure with a measuring tape I think.

You can at least fit the Nvidia version of the GTX 1080 since it's 10.5".

But as above you'll need to find out the exact length of the GTX 1080 you want to buy.

Just from looking at pictures of it, particularly the spacing to the right of the ATX standoffs, it looks like you'll be hard-pressed to fit any card longer than 11" +/- .25" as anything longer than that risks running too close to the sidewall of the drive mount area and blocking off the card's PCI-E power connectors. Luckily, as long as the card isn't too long, you shouldn't have any restriction on height since the side panel protrudes in the middle and won't block the power cables. If you absolutely want to make sure a 1080 will fit in there, you should go with an EVGA ACX (non-FTW or Classified) model since those are nearly identical in size to the reference blower coolers and thus are the the most likely to be compatible. An MSI Gaming card should work as well since those are taller but only slightly longer than reference. I think the only models you'll definitely have to avoid are Zotac Amp Extreme and Asus ROG Strix.

I would still recommend measuring the case once you get it to be absolutely sure, or get a different case.
