A few things:

1. DONT REMOVE ANYTHING...

2. Re-read 1.

3. Re-read 2.

4. A HD 7770 should fit in there no problem, I know the heatsink looks like an issue, but the fans will rest below the PCI-E x16 slot. I'll attach a pic of my system when I can so you see what I mean

EDIT: Pic



Note where the model number of my motherboard is, the slot is directly below that. The cooling system always sits below the slot

You are thinking the card is wide both ways. It is not. The width extends only in the direction of your other slots. (which you will loose access to)

Forgot to mention your PCI-E x1 slot below the x16 slot will be blocked, I have the same issue but have never needed both x1 slots
