I'm currently planning on buying an R9 270X but the thing is i think it doesn't fit my currenty case. My current video card is a GT220 which is around 6 inches in length. Whereas the 270X is at about 10.2 inches.

Looking at this pic of my case (I also measured it), I think the 270X won't fit. My question is can you remove the metal plate thingy below the HDD to make room for the 270X?
