Ok so i want to buy a new graphics card but even though it is compatible the dimensions on it don't fit on my motherboard.
The graphics card is 23cm long but my ram slot is only 17cm away from the edge so i don't think it will fit.
What should i do?
Do i need to find a smaller graphics card or would it be better to get a whole new motherboard?
Or can i take out the 1 ram slot it overlaps?

What motherboard do you have? I havent seen a video card ever have a chance of blocking the RAM slots..

You could try low profile ram?
Though it shouldn't block it in the first place. I've seen this with cpu coolers but, never because of a gpu.

Is it the GPU itself that is that long?
Or is it the cooler that is that long, I'd say try to make it fit, if not you could set up a water cooling loop to the GPU.
To my knowledge those or generally lower profile then air GPU coolers.

I dont think a GPU can ever block RAM slots.. You may have a small mobo and the GPU side may hit the CPU cooler but that is very rare.
