okay so i built my computer and everything works great.
its just a budget gamer.

and this is the case im using.


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119047

i have everything installed and for some reason my video card doesnt sit flush with the back of the case.

it like tilts inward so i cant screw it into place and its really irritating.

my mobo is in there great its just the motherboard.

any suggestions?

Can you post a picture? I cant see any other reason than your card being too big for the case.

This happens sometimes with certain graphics cards. Push very firmly on the top of the card as you're looking down at the board and see if you can get it into the slot. Also, try removing the plastic tool-less attachment for that slot and screwing the card in normally.

You might try loosening the standoff-screws that secure the braket to the card, this will give you a few MM of wiggle-room up, down, left, and right. Once it is in the right place, just tighten them back up. You might also try loosening the mainboard screws, allowing the mainboard to move a MM or two.

If neither of those work, you can also try putting a few washers between the card and it's bracket to make everything fit nice.
