Hi, I'm looking to start a new build (first time) and i'm not sure if the GPU I'm looking at will fit in the case, if it 100% won't I'll just use a model with a 2gb frame buffer from Zotac.

Anyways, the card(Gigabyte GTX 960 4gb) is 262mm, and the Cooler Master Elite 350 says that it will only accommodate a 230mm card. Can I remove an optical drive bay or something so that the card will fit or am I stuck with the Zotac model?
 
Solution
Short of physically modding the case by cutting out the drive cage, there is no way that card will fit. But there may be better cards that will fit.
