My videocard won't fit

[hackman2007]

Sorry to derail this thread, but this is what I'll be getting after I get out of school (woot for graduation presents).

Intel E4300

Asus P5N-E SLI (I don't need SLI)

This motherboard will fit my graphics card with no problems right? Like I won't have to buy another retention module or anything right?

Those should all play nice together. Those Zalman Heatsinks Panda Man linked to are all going to be too big. You would need some type of tower style heatsink you can rotate 90º out of the way of the video card or a small heatsink that doesn't go outside the bounds of the processor socket. Your next best option would be to do what you described and get a new motherboard (and/or CPU).
