Hi my gpu failed me after 4yrs. Based on my rig, what are possible gpu I can get?
How? No way the pcie3.0 slot is interfered by ram plsthanks all for advise, i bought a brand new radeon sapphire nitro+ rx 580 4gb at $200.
but i cant fit it in my PCI-E 3.0 slot as my ram is blocking it. so i used my PCI-e 2.0 slot, will it matter?

The clip securing the ram is preventing my gpu from seating properly cos this new gpu abit long and thick
Remove GPU back plate should solve the issueThe clip securing the ram is preventing my gpu from seating properly cos this new gpu abit long and thick

Seems like for your MSI B85M-G43, the pcie 3.0 is quite high and close to RAM slots. So, you had tried mounting rams first then gpu? What about the other way round? Could also be that the gpu backplate is too thick.
Is this the board you are using ?
If the 2nd slot can supply full x16 pci 2.0 bandwidth, it is not going to be major issue problem @ 1080p resolution.

If you don't tear any manufacturer sticker, then yes, it's safe provided you know what you're doingis it ok to remove GPU backplate? never try this but might work.
