Looks like you get to do your first case mod!  :D

 

Seriously tho... You're gonna have to mod the HDD cage by cutting some out so that the GC fits, or you're going to have to buy a new case.

So.. I just bought a Sapphire Radeon R9 390 NITRO 8GB DDR5 512-bit Backplate but when I was trying to "insert" it I realised that it was not fitting in my case. (I have a "basic" case at the moment .. until I earn more money to get a new one).

 

Thank you!

a dremel tool?

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

With rivets you either have to drill them out or rip them out. And I don't recommend the ripping option....

I guess you could maybe get away with using a rotary tool to grind away the rivet head, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you really don't care what the inside of your case looks like, as long as the card fits.
