Gigabyte gtx760 barely fits!

Managed to fit the card into the pins but the plastic side is slightly bent. This is the side where the fans are. Pic below

Thats a lot of flex on that card, try to remove or mod that cage to get the card to fit, I wouldnt keep it sitting like that.

Agreed. See if you can remove the... the... metal cage thingy? I assume it's for hard drives.

if it works then you will be fine or replace for bigger case

Can you trim the shroud of the card. AFAIK a lot of windforce cards have shrouds that go over the edge of the card.

If its a recent card that shroud will be metal, and will probably have to be removed to do that, at which point you're voiding your gigabyte warranty. Its much much simpler to mod the case when everything is out of it.
