I see some potential for cabling or disk drive conflicts, near where the
end of that 8.3" card will be sitting. If the motherboard is 9.6"
wide, and the video card is 8.3" wide, that leaves 1.3" room for stuff
that overhangs the motherboard. The card probably just barely clears
the end of the drive, but the cabling in that area looks like a concern.

The card will have two power cables, but they're nearer the top of the
card, so maybe they won't bump into anything.

A person could try some right angle or left angle cabling for the SATA
drive, but that still might not be enough to avoid a conflict.
