I have been building my friends PC all day and when we tried to install the graphics card, it simply wouldn't go in. It definately is the cases problem. What happens is when i try to put it in the PCI-E slot, the connectors end up between the brackets. Please help!!!! Graphics Card: GTX 960 EVGA SSC 2GB Mobo: Gigabyte 970A-UD3P

the case is made for atx mb and should work. first off pull the gpu and check that the mb is sitting on the top row of mb standoffs. the case has standoffs drilled out for smaller micro and itx. make sure the standoffs are in the right spot. the gpu you have is a two slot card. most two slot cards the slot to the top or bottom of the main slot in the back of the case has to be popped out two. the trick is dry line up of the gpu. see what slots have to be removed on the case for the gpu to fit. the other issue check the spacing of the mb from the rear of the case if it too tight the gpu card wont slid into the lock spot for pci cards. it be sitting on top of the mb.
