Hello,
I'm building my first PC, and I was wondering if my case was too small. I bought the card (got a great deal on it) but haven't bought the case. I wouldn't mind taking out an HDD cage if necessary. Would I have to do this?
Here's my plans:

OK, thanks.
For now that shouldn't be an issue because I only have one HDD and one SSD.

Oh no, waiting on delivery of my NZXT H440 and Sapphire R9 280 tri-x. My first build also. When you say you have to take out the drive cage... is that the whole thing or just the dish insert things?

I only had to remove a set of 2 or 3 drive slots. No problem if you only have a couple HDD/SSDs.
