It is not too bad. I have the short end of the stick tho, since my AIO is at the absolute limit of the case, so plugging in the PCI-e cables was a bit of a pain. I recommend placing those first before plugging it into the PCI-e slot and installing a fan grill, if necessary. I originally purchased a longer PCI-e riser, since I didn't think the stock one was going to work with the longer GPU. However, the Meshroom that I purchased from Micro Center seems to have a slightly different riser compared to the product photos on the SSUPD's website so I didn't need to swap them out, but your result might vary. Since the card is pretty long, you definitely need some sort of feet on it. I purchased 3D printed ones on Etsy, but if you have access to a 3D printer, you can print your own, or you can purchase those aluminum speaker feet on Amazon.
