I know people who have learned to check their GPU/case dimensions the hard way. They order the card and the case, then when it arrives they complain about how it doesn't fit. Your card is 29.5cm and your case can hold, at max, a 26.7cm card. Sorry :( You should probably find a slightly bigger case or a smaller card. 30cm seems like overkill for graphics cards these days, but hey - the MSI GTX 780 Lightning has insane performance so I'm not one to complain.

 

P.S. I dont understand all the hate towards OP. He asked a question so just answer it...

 

Anyways, good luck with finding a solution. In my opinion, I would get a new case. Your card shouldn't be dictated by why case you want; for example I have a 22.3cm card and a mid-sized case to go with it. LOTS of empty space... but still better than a choking your components in regards to airflow.
