GPU too big for chassis?

I'm planning on purchasing a new GPU and I have my eyes on the GIGABYTE GTX 960 G1, but there is a problem (or I think so). The specs on its website state that the card is 295 mm long without the bracket (I don't understand the bracket part) and my chassis; CM Elite 334 can fit in a max size of 252 mm (it says in its product sheet. I'm attaching a picture of that page).

My question is, what about that extra space after 252 mm? I measured the length myself and it's almost 330 mm before the HDD bay gets in the way.
What do?
 


I measured 330 mm without having to remove the drive holder and I don't think it can be replaced anyway. I'm still confused as to why the product sheet says 252 mm is the max a vga card can fit in there.
