I have a FM2-A55M-E33, I need some help.

[-harvs]

So I just bought a MSI Radeon R9 270x.
Im going to collect it tomorrow from my local newsagents, God damn UPS 'access point'
I was just looking at my Graphics card and where the SATA Ports are on the mobo, The SATA ports are right next to the GPU and im scared that the GPU might not fit.
This is the GPU i got : R9 270X
Heres where my current GPU is placed next to my SATA ports :

Will it fit? I really need help. Maybe if i swap the SATA cables around to the L shaped end will that work?

Yes angled Sata cables will work.

You might need to get sata cables with bent plugs for those that would be where the video card overlaps. Like this at the link:
