Ok I'm kinda new to the whole PC building.. I was wondering if anyone could help me out? I have this kind of case.

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

And, the Hard drive won't fit inside. Did I buy the wrong size of hard drive or is there something I need to know before I touch anything. Like under the DVD drive it doesn't fit, and i've been told that it goes under there where it hold's it's place, and under it there is another place where I can store something, but the hard drive's too small to fit in there. Please leave a comment below on what could I possibly do? Thanks.

Insert the mounting brackets and then slide it into one of the slots in the bottom hard disk cage.

It doesnt go into the space DIRECTLY under the DVD drive, it goes into the ones about 2-3 slots below that, the smaller ones.
Optical drives are 5.25 inches wide, standard HDDs are 3.5 inches wide, SSDs are 2.5 inches wide.
