Are you using the mini-tower or small form factor (SFF) variant?

SFF

It looks like you can only install a low-profile GPU into the SFF case. If using the stock PSU, you only have a 240w PSU as well.

Something like this GTX 750ti should work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125680

Or this R7 240 (much less expensive): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127765

what if i took the panel off and put the gpu in

It would draw more power than the PSU can support and create a system where one wrong bump and you fry the entire system. Up to you how much risk you are willing to take, but I would not recommend doing this.

See here for specs on the GTX 660, note the power requirements.

The SFF case limits your PSU selection to TFX form factor PSUs. Not many of these are available above the 300-400 Watt range due to size restrictions and the fact that high end high power consumption cards very rarely come in low profile variants. If you could find a 400 Watt TFX form factor PSU, that would be sufficient. The other alternative is you get a full sized PSU and simply run it outside the case, but if you do that you might as well get a new case too and try to transplant all your other hardware to it.
