I just set up my rig a few days back and I already have two GPU's running (one for gaming, one for F@H) and I was thinking of eventually picking up a third card for purposes of Folding. My problem is I don't think a GTX 780 could fit, maybe the GTX 660 could, but it would be a close fit.

Can anyone else confirm that a third card will fit in there just fine and not hit the USB plugins on the bottom (I can move the existing one to the end if I have to). It looks like there is literally no space and almost pointless putting it on the bottom like that over the PCI slot.

I don't want to invest in a third GPU if neither a 660 or a 780 will make it in without damaging anything as it looks like it would do. The fit just looks so close that I don't have much faith that it will, but this is my first time dealing with a Triple PCIe 16x MOBO so this may be the norm.

Any clarification or tips would be great.

Thanks!
