Can't seem to fit my new GPU any ideas

[uKGMAN]

Running into problems, i cant seem to get the card to fit. I have a corsair graphite 230t and a msi z87-g43 gaming mobo. Its like i cant even get the card close to the pci express slot but cant see whats blocking it.
The card is asus gtx 1070 strix

Just use a hammer and or a hacksaw should work . Strange man, all seems to be fine in terms of dimensions. do you have any photos of you trying to line the card up, hard to say without seeing it.

The card is so big it cant even see the slot when im trying to lower it in. Will try get some pics

Do you have a second slot open at the rear of the case so that both sets of sockets on the card can poke out? Also make sure you line up the sockets with the slots before lowering it in (I had this problem with my new RX 480)

Is your motherboard positioned within the case so that it lines up with the slots on the back of the case?

Do you have power / SATA cables coming out of the HDD enclosure that might be getting in the way?

Are there any large heatsinks or other bits poking up from the motherboard that might be getting in the way?

Looks a fairly big case so unless your mobo is not close enough to the back of the case and the 'prongs' on the back of the graphics card not slotting in the gap between back of case and mobo i cant see what would block it, some pics maybe? I had a problem with my new 1070 Jetstream, its massive and wouldnt fit in my Prodigy so had to get something new, an Aerocool Dead Silence!
